"Dear Lisa

I arrived at the office an hour ago and there it was waiting for me.................................... I could not contain my excitement and I could not wait until I got home to have a look at it and so opened it in work.........

It is absolutely fantastic......... I am so happy I dont know what to do with myself. My friend at work (who knows my dogs) has said she cant believe how good it is, how you have caught the essence of them so well. You have got both of them exactly right - Zena in her relaxed regal pose and Lucy with that little glint in her eye....... it is brilliant

.....I am so happy and so lucky to have such a wonderful picture. I am glad that you had a good time painting it, it really shows in the final outcome. I cant get over how good it is and how you have managed to get every detail (even Lucy's little "mustache" ) It is absolutely perfect. I haven't told family that I was having the portrait done and my Mum is coming over Christmas and I cant wait to see what she thinks !!! It will be especially poignant as Zena used to belong to my sister, Joanne, who passed away 2 years ago. I know that She would have absolutely loved this and I think she will be looking down now and thinking "Yeah, there's my girl looking great"

I cant wait to get it home and show the girls...........they are forever immortalised on canvas now..........generations to come will know what Lucy and Zena looked like!!!

Once again Lisa, thank you so much, I am absolutely delighted with it. I cant stop admiring it (in fact I havent done much work today because I'm just sat here looking at the picture)
It most certainly was worth the wait...........

...as far as I'm concerned, every dog owner in the world should have one of your paintings hanging on their wall !!!

with much love and thanks,

Jane - One very very happy English girl !!
