This is Ronan, a Shiba Inu. He's such a beautiful dog!
I'm very excited to
get the chance to create his portrait. Anne from San Francisco
is surprising
her special friend James for christmas with this portrait of
his dog!
This portrait is in pastel & colored pencil at a size of
12" x 16".

This
is the photo of Ronan that I
had picked to be my reference photo.

| Martina,
I went to your website this morning and I must say that I
absolutely love Ronan's portrait!!! It is gorgeous! You have
really captured his face, spirit, good looks, etc. :-) I can
hardly wait to see the finished work product. You have such
exceptional talent!!! I've seen many artists portraits of
various pets, but no one who is as talented as you! I am so
glad I found you :-) |

"Martina,
I just wanted to let you know that your portrait of Ronan
makes me smile every time I look at it!
And, I've been looking at it all morning long!" |

Good
Morning Ms. Incredible Pet Portrait Artist !
I continue to be amazed at your skills! I saw the portrait
of Ronan this morning, and it is so life-like that both
Lindy and I felt that we wanted to reach out and pet it!
You have captured the essence of Ronan. I'm not sure that
I'll be able to wait to see the final product on Saturday;
I am so excited!

This
is the best part, the moment I get to deliver the finished
portrait to the
customer. Anne was sooooo excited and I am so glad that
I got to actually be
there in person to see her reaction when she saw the portrait
of Ronan for the
very first time! It actually brought a tear to her eye!
Hey James...Anne must think your'e a pretty special guy!
;-)
Merry Christmas!
