Dommy - Tanya VIC Australia
Hi Catherin,
Well, we had mum over for a birthday dinner last night, so I gave her the portrait and she absolutely adores it! So much so that after she went home, she phoned 10 minutes later to tell me excitedly that she had found the perfect place to hang it. J
Thanks so much.
Kind Regards,
Tanya Meldrum
Webster ( Gr Ch Benshiva Dot Com) - Melissa NSW
Hi Catherin
The portrait arrived safe and sound yesterday. To describe how I felt when we unwrapped it would be useless. He was sitting at my feet and you've captured him EXACTLY!!!! Thank you so much once again.
His portrait is hanging on the wall surrounded by his BIS ribbons and his RU Show Dog of the Year as well!! I couldn't have asked for a better "retirement" present for him.

Tye ( Grand Champion Nahrof Say No More) - Deborah NSW Australia
Dear Catherin,
Just to let you know that Tye arrived safely at my home approx 30 minutes ago, coincidently Lauren was on the phone with me at the time and waited as unwrapped him. I could not be happier with the finished
product, you have captured his soul and expresson perfectly. It was what I hoped and deamed of presenting to Lauren this christmas. Your portrait is the only present I could think of that would repay her for her generosity of spirit and friendship she has always shown me.
Today Tye hangs on my wall, I fear little else will be accomplished as he has mesmerized me. Tomorrow he will be presented to Lauren and go home to Dahmoor his home, where he belongs.
with deepest gratitude,
Debra Richardson

Jemma Commissioned by Kaylene - QLD Australia
Unfortunately we lost our best friend of nearly 15 years in June. Jema touched the lives of many of our two legged friends whoalso miss her. For the last two months we have missed saying our 'good morning little one' but after receiving Catherin's portrait of Jema we now can get up each morning and say good morning once again. Catherin has captured Jema's whole wonderful unique personality and her true characterics all in one. Catherin, thank you once again for bringing our little girl to life so that we can enjoy looking at for a very long time.
Regards, Chris and Kaylene - Queensland
