Pet Portraits by Melanie

Welcome to the Pet Portrait of a Jack Russell

Melanie, I wouldn't change a thing! She looks beautiful. Let me know when you are ready to ship and I might give you an alternative address to avoid interception!
Look forward to it.
Best regards
Ian

Dear Melanie
I LOVE my portrait of Chilli.......as you know she had a terrible time and thankfully is now mending slowly.
She has to have another op at the end of June in the hopes that her insides can be improved . Although she appears well, the illness damaged her intestines and she is so young we want to try and make life easier for her.
Ian explained how stressful the whole portrait project was....knowing that if she didn't make it, the present wouldn't have seemed appropriate quite so soon after.
BUT, she did, and we can all enjoy the fabulous painting. Phew!
Thanks for all your interest in her recovery.

Here you will find the full painting of Chilli and you can click on the smaller version left to view a detailed version of the portrait. Ian contacted me to paint Chilli as a surprise for his wife’s birthday. Chilli has been very unwell and has had to have many operations, so this portrait really will mean a lot to Ian’s family. Below is an email Ian sent me when he saw the final scan.
