He’s here!!!.....He’s here!!!.....and is just beautiful. Thank you so, so much for this. I can’t believe how it looks full sized……you are an amazing artist Annette. People who see this will be hearing about your work. -tom
And 'Nette? Quite possibly the most gorgeous painting ever. I can't tell you how much I am touched by the way they not only look like my kids, but they also have so much of their personalities worked into them! My mom was mesmerized by the fact that Jen had her total sweet, laid back feel, Jamie had his 'Jabba the Hut' thing going on, and Dee is aloof even in acrylic!
Jamie's breeder was there when I opened it, she's visiting from Michigan to show in Harrisburg this weekend, and she can attest I literally SQUEALED and jumped up and down- how unladylike... but how appropriate!
It is a HUGE piece, that is over a full sized bed and it looks even bigger in person. The dogs are practically life-sized!
I just couldn't believe that you two schemed to add my other two to it- it was fantastic with just Jen in it, but now... now its the most perfect thing i've EVER seen. - patty
Hi 'nette,
Hope you had a great Mother's Day! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the beautiful job you did on Reagan and Tacoma's portraits. You made two ladies very happy on Mother's Day. My sister just loved the portrait of Tacoma.....so much in fact that she hung it immediately and invited some friends and family over to see it. She said she can't stop looking at it. Edna, Reagan's original owner who had to give him up when she moved to assisted living was truly overwhelmed and "could not hold back the tears" when she opened her package and saw his portrait. She absolutely loved the one blue eye and one brown eye and said she will treasure it always. So again, thank you so much for making their day!

Hi Annette, I just love the portrait you did of my Archie. You are very talented!Arch is such a sweet and loving little guy, whenever he looks at me I swear he's looking right into my soul. I think you've captured his personality. Thank you.
Talk with you soon. Pat
Hello~
Your portraits just arrived, and oh my gosh, they are gorgeous!!
I have already hung up the framed one- prime location on a wall, which is the first you see through the front door. And Lucky...how did you choose my favorite color for him as the matt? He wore that exact color moss green collar... Thank you so so much for your beautiful art- something not only I will treasure, but my son as well, also a dog and art lover!
Take care,
Kathryn

Nette-
I just returned from PA and delivered Oscar's portrait to his parents on Sunday evening. They were more than thrilled. I put a copy of the original photo of Ossie on top of the gift and labeled it "the inspiration..." My sister in law cried and cried once she saw it! My brother was blown away! Our entire family was crying! They believe that you captured Ossie beautifully! They immediately started discussing the best place to display the portrait. He sent me a picture message on my phone yesterday of the portrait hanging on the wall!
Thank you so much. I'm going to send you some pics. I think they are large so I will split them up! You definitely played a big part in making this a special Christmas for them!
Thanks
Dani
