          “My partner gave me the best Christmas present ever. He gave me a painting of my very precious dogs, Basil and Kelso, that he had commissioned you to complete. I wanted you to know that I think the quality of your work is excellent. The detail and likeness to my dogs is amazing. The painting has taken pride of place in my living room and has been the talking point throughout the Christmas period.”  Carol

If quality products are used, once behind glass, pastel pet portraits will last for many life times.
