Pet Portrait Testimonial:
Dear Penny,
Apologies for the delay in contacting you to thank you so much for Ruddles portrait.
You have (as you did with our labrador in 1994) captured him exactly. I love it.
Many many thanks.
Regards Pauline Makey x. Stamford, Lincolnshire.

All these mediums enable fine detail and a rich use of colour giving tremendous amount of realism.
