Blog - Portraits In Progress
Clients are excited watching their pet come to life as we post stages of their portrait as it develops on our Portraits in Progress Blog. Clients comment on the blog quite often and we love to read feedback from them. A recent comment from a lady who commissioned her 5 cats in oils wrote -
Dear Melanie & Nick, Just to let you know…..I cannot stop looking. I am meant to be checking out “housey things” but can I stop looking?…NO….I think, so far, perfection sums it up…Many thanks Louise. xx

Framing, Engraving & Prints
We work with a wonderful framer called Jane, who produces the most exquisite frames for us. We also have access to a very professional print company and Sian, my go to lady is always there when we need to order a print of one of our portraits for our clients. Jane can frame your prints for you if required. Also in combination with frames and prints, we work with an amazing engraver called Paul in the south of the UK who provides us with engraved plaques to go on the frames too. Take a look at our Framing page for details of frames and plaques and our Prints page print options. |

Pure genius, talent such as that possessed by Nick and yourself should be treasured. Chester and Minnie have been captured in a way that we could only have hoped for but perhaps never really expected. I wish that you both knew our dogs because only then could you really appreciate how accurately they have been portrayed .I could go on and on but it's easier to simply say 'we're delighted'. I shall be recommending you both to just about everyone with an animal. Perhaps somewhat oddly, I will continue to read your blog even though the pictures are finished. I'd really miss it I'd I didn't.

Happy Clients!
Over the last 16 years we have received some wonderful letters and photos of thanks from our clients, often clients travel many miles to collect their portrait in person.

You and Nick have been a pleasure to work with. Your talent is amazing and you have been so accommodating to us.
I would say that you have excellent customer service but that sounds odd...like I was talking about Sears and that's not what I mean. You have been kind, thoughtful, and caring. Always ready to answer questions and make changes. I really tell everyone that you two are the very best at what you do. It is not easy to deal with people and you do it effortlessly. I also appreciate your phone calls. What a personal touch! Thank you so much, Nick and Melanie

Our Studio in the Heart of Wales
We have a lovely 300 year old welsh cottage and studio set in an idyllic rural scene with a big garden, a rescue dog and rescue chickens. Clients are always welcome to visit, along with their pets to be photographed. The kettle is always on and I love baking, so there's usually some home made cake too! View photos of where we work >> |

Hand Painted and Drawn
All of our portraits are hand painted and drawn and singed by ourselves. This is why we have a fairly long waiting list, it is a very time consuming craft working at our easels often 6 hours per day painting and drawing.
