"I have now had Karen do two paintings for me and one for a friend of our dogs and cats – each and every time she creates something spectacular that captures the subjects superbly – their eyes and expressions are perfect and so life-like – how DOES she do it?!  I'm fighting with a few people to be her #1 fan!  Karen has a special talent and I’m honoured she worked so hard on creating beautiful artwork that makes me smile inside every time I look at it.   Karen you ROCK!  Thank you!" ~ Lucy Earp

"What can i say about Karens work, it fantastic, the sheer magic of the true likeness to her subjects is beyond belief, she captures the true spirit of what ever it is she is painting. & with every detail she brings the pictures to life. I'm honoured to be the owner of three pieces of Karens work,& there will be more to follow, of that you can rest assure!! Many thanks to you Karen & keep up the good work. Your No1 FAN Bernie x" ~ Bernie Weston


"Karen's paintings are absolutely wonderful, I have had 2 so far and both just captured the likeness of the dogs and their expressions superbly. The attention to detail is fantastic making the paintings come to life. I hope to add to my collection by having the rest of my 'zoo' painted in the near future. Well done Karen, your work is amazing!" ~ Carroll Shaw, N. Yorkshire

"Hi Karen, Just wanted to say, thank you so much for the portrait of Jazz you did for my friend, she was overjoyed with it and it now hangs in pride of place in her house. The likeness is amazing even down to his squint (friend noticed that straight away) and the dirty tongue he had at the time due to playing with his ball :)" ~ Mary

"Hi Karen, I got Charlie's painting back from the framer's today and if it was possible, it is even more lovely now that it is framed. I just can't express how much we love this painting and how beautiful it is! I worried the whole time it was away being framed that something would happen to Charlie's gorgeous painting. You have a wonderful talent, a true gift, and I am proud to have such a beautiful sample of your talent displayed in my home. It will truly be an heirloom to pass on to our daughter; a wonderful work of art of a very much beloved Westie! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with our family! (Charlie thanks you too!) Sharon" ~ Sharon Conant, Tennessee, USA

"Karen thank you for the lovely portrait! It was a gift for someone and they have asked me to tell you that they love the portrait of Harry and Rory. You captured their individual characters perfectly and its something that will always be treasured! Your hardwork and talent do not go unnoticed." ~ Amanda, London

"Karen what can i say mum was thrilled with her picture what a wonderful job you did it was as if he was actually on the page and in the room when you did the painting. thanks once again Karen" ~ Sarah Jennings, Ayrshire

"Karen did a portrait of my Chocolate Labrador Tia which I am delighted with. It is such a good likeness of her and much better than previous portraits I have had done by other artists which I must admit left me rather disappointed. I can thoroughly recommend Karen to other dog lovers, especially Labrador owners as she seems to capture the essence of the breed." ~ Isobel Wilson, Caithness

"I ordered a portrait for my Dad - Rosie is my parents dog and I knew Dad would love a painting of her. I was absolutely thrilled with the painting and I knew my parents would love it too, and they did!! The likeness is absolutely amazing.

"Hi Karen, Just wanted to let you know how absolutely delighted I am with the painting of my boys, Harvey and Charlie. I was speechless and cried! It's my boys exactly...... I often just stare at it and wonder how on earth you got it so life like. I cant speak highly enough Karen, it was my best present ever! Thank you again, so much." ~ Fay Lloyd, Hereford

"I still can't quite believe the likeness of the painting to Tilly. The depth to which you captured her ' talking ' eyes, facial features and every detail is truly amazing. You have such talent. Now I am ticking the months off waiting for Tilly's sister to have hers done, then I fancy one of both of them together...then .. Anyone who hasn't ever seen your gifted work is really missing out. Thank you again, so much." ~ Rhoni, Devon
