Customer Comments on Pet Portraits by Sally Logue

Scamp
Oh my God, Sally - what can I say? I opened up your website with a certain amount of trepidation until I saw the image of Scamp and, even though I'm at work, the tears just came from nowhere. Its perfect, absolutely perfect. I don't know how you done it but you've captured him to a T - its like its actually him and not a portrait. My parents are going to just simply love it. I can't wait to see their reaction when they see it on their wedding anniversary .....................The portrait arrived safe and sound yesterday. The picture you put on your web site doesn't do it justice - it is even better in real life!

Bailey (USA)
Its fabulous and an excellent likeness of her. Thank you so much for your careful work. I will definitely recommend you to my friends.... It looked great on the web, but even better it person. Thank you so much for the great job.

Bunker
I'm absolutely thrilled with the portrait of Bunker, it's really, really lovely, you've just captured him completely. I'll certainly recommend you to anyone who sees, and no doubt admires, the picture.

Fred
The portrait is brilliant. Thanks once again for capturing a true likeness of my dad.....it is much better in real-life. Thanks for the extra prints they are fantastic. My Mum loved it she was in tears.

Lucy
Lucy's picture arrived safely this morning. It is really like her. I have recommended your website to friends. Thanks again.

Oliver
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful picture of "Oliver" you have really captured his personality. I have had the picture framed and I am so pleased with the result it is fantastic. I can't wait to give it to my husband. I am sure Jamie, (on our anniversary) will be thrilled much more so than if he had a portrait of me!!!!!!

Buster
She is perfect, I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. Thank you so much, my sister is really going to be chuffed you have captured her beautifully.

Bruce and Pup (Canada)

Fletch
Your picture of Fletch is beautiful, it captures everything about him and I love it.

Harvey
Many, many thanks for the wonderful portrait of Harvey. You have captured him superbly, which is not easy with a dog who scowls every time a camera is near! The portrait shall take pride of place next to that of Molly.

Angel and Midnight (USA)
It's arrived in perfect condition and is even more beautiful than on your website. When my husband saw our "boys", he started crying.... it was so wonderful seeing that quizzical look in Angels eyes again, which you captured perfectly. I guess you could say you captured their spirit...

The portrait is absolutely amazing; you've really captured Barney and his personality. Seeing the piece on your website was wonderful but the "real" thing really took my breath away.Thank you so very much for all of the time and effort that you have put into "Barney", it has been greatly appreciated. He is extremely special and it is a real privilege to have such an incredible piece of your work.
'So glad you got up at the crack of dawn with Barney and tuned into BBC2 that day, many thanks Carolynne!' Sally

Tiny (further comments!)
We gave mum one of the cards first ~ she opened it an promptly burst into tears, closely followed by everyone else in the room!!

lounge wall. There wasn't a dry eye in the house! He said it was the best
present he had ever had (apart from me - hahahahaha!).

Chester
The picture is brilliant; we have shown it to everyone and I expect lots of people have visited your web site since, as we keep telling them how talented you are. All those who know Chester agree the likeness is remarkable, it is so him.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sooty
Sooty's portrait has arrived! You have done such a wonderful job considering the poor quality of the photos I had. Sooty with the rainbow is perfect and gives the portrait a very special meaning to me. You have captured Sooty so well and I really feel like I am looking into his eyes.

Jack
Thank you for the excellent portrait of "Jack"....we would not hesitate in recommending your work to anyone else.

Missy
I can't believe how quickly you were able to do my portrait of Missy - thank you so much. You've reduced me to tears but it was a lovely surprise. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for such a personal service - it makes a big difference when you're dealing with a loss.

I think that just about demonstrates how delighted he was with his present.

Thank you so much for making this a wonderful Christmas.

ahhhhhhhhh when I brought it up on screen.

Jake
I'm speechless. The portrait is so like Jake. His eye's are so lifelike. I don't feel like I'm looking at a portrait and it really brings it home that he is no longer with us. He was so much fun......The portrait is perfect....I dare say she'll shed a tear or two.

I am so glad I found your web site that night, and I am proud to have your excellent work (Billy and Charlie) hanging up in my living room.

Paddy
The "grand presentation" of Paddy's portrait took place on Wednesday evening! Fantastic - only a few days before, Amy had seen a picture of a grey horse at a local gallery and had commented how nice it was, but that she didn't want to buy it (thank God!) because it "wasn't Paddy", whereas your wonderful portrait is most definitely "completely Paddy"! Amy loves it. Thank you!

...they didn't open Monty's portrait until after the wedding as they didn't want to end up in tears!
....they were 'chuffed to pieces' with the portrait, and have hung him so that he can look out of the lounge window (Monty's favourite spot was in the window!) So thank you so much for your lovely portrait, you've immortalized Monty for them, and made a very special couple very happy.

Jack Jill and Murphy
They look excellent..............I've now received the portraits and think that they are even better than I expected, even though I had already viewed them on your web site.

Sam and Molly
Sam and Molly are excellent, I'm sure my wife will treasure these portraits for many years to come.

Honey
When they opened it up at the framing shop I could not believe the likeness between the photograph and the portrait.... you don't always get the full benefit of the colour when you see the portrait over the internet, that's why it always nice to see it in front of you for real. I can't thank you enough.

Dina
It's WONDERFUL! You're brilliant. My husband will adore it. I must congratulate you on capturing her markings and doing so well working with the two photos. I will certainly 'advertise' your skills whenever and wherever I can, and I have no doubt that I will be back to you for more in the future.

Mabel and Storm
The picture now has pride of place in my parents front room. They absolutely love it. They keep having small dinner parties for their friends just to show it off!! Their faces when they opened it were fantastic..........we will recommend you in the future without a doubt.

Midge and Toby
It's a bit of a standing joke in our family that Mum cries at the drop of a hat, but on this occasion it was genuinely heartfelt. She thought you'd captured the likenesses brilliantly - particularly with Toby, who never really liked having his picture taken.

Meg
Just wanted to let you know that my partner thought the portrait was superb, he said "It is just SO Meg!" and it's to have pride of place in the hall to greet visitors............many thanks for a wonderful gift.

Scott
WOW that looks fantastic!

Griswald, Bogart and Barnam
Magnificent, a true likeness to say the least...... Its much better than we could have imagined.....Each one is unique but so exact we can't believe it. It is the best present we have ever treated ourselves to!

Molly and Ginny
The portrait is perfect - you've managed a remarkable likeness, especially given your source images (sorry, I've never been much of a photographer).

ET, Mitzy, Fluffy and Tipsy
It's absolutely gorgeous and each cat is perfect. Mam and Dad are over the moon and it has taken up the focal point in the living room. Mum says it is the most beautiful present she has ever received.

Toby and Robbie
You have done a marvellous job! Caught the characters as well as the expressions! Fantastic!!

Margaret Minuth of the Foundation of Great Danes writes:
In Sept. 2001, I commissioned Sally to draw a pastel of the "Foundation of SierraDanes"(Int'l Ch. Nuttree's Sierra Snowdancer, BISS Ch. Megara's Duncan of Gloucester, AOM and BISS BIS Ch. Lagarada's Reach for the Starz, CGC.)

DON'T LET HER OVERSEES LOCATION STOP YOU! She has many customers in the U.S. and it was a very easy and quick purchase!"

Sandra Drew writes:
I was looking for that special Christmas present for my partner and Meg had just been diagnosed with a major heart defect so we were having to face the prospect of losing her after 10 years. I searched the internet and liked Sally's website so much that I didn't hesitate to email her - some of the Customer Comments on the site were really touching. Sally completed Meg's portrait in just a few weeks at one of her busiest times of the year and we are delighted with it. We feel she has really captured the essence of Meg and the picture is a wonderful keepsake

K9Z's Pammy Walsh writes
I first came across Sally whilst browsing the web. I'd always dreamed of having a portrait of my beloved dog, but had thought the whole thing would be hugely expensive, and worried about the results (after all, how do you tell somebody that has put hours of work into a drawing, that it doesn't look much like your pet at all). I saw Sally's banner advert on a website, which featured the pre-photo and the post-drawing results, and I was utterly amazed at how close the likeness was. I went to her website, saw other drawings there, and read the customer comments, all of which highly praised her work and discovered that the prices weren't nearly as high as I had imagined.

I contacted Sally, supplied her with a selection of photos and asked her to do a portrait of my dog. Sally's whole approach was highly professional from start to finish. The whole process took only a matter of weeks. I was delighted with the results, they are amazing - the likeness is so close it's almost unbelievable ! I can personally highly recommend Sally's work - these pictures make ideal presents for loved ones, and are a real feature in anyone's home.

Andrew Alexander writes:

I would just like to reiterate my many thanks to you for the highly detailed and high quality work you have produced for me over the past couple of months.

When I first got my hands on “Otis” I was amazed at the likeness and character captured within the drawing. This pleased both myself and my girlfriend, whose parents cat he is. To be honest I was a little apprehensive awaiting the completion and arrival of ”Bracken”. I was sure that although the result would be impressive, it may be overshadowed by the quality of the “Otis” drawing. My apprehension was completely unfounded as when “Bracken” arrived the result was equally as impressive and just as highly detailed.

I have spread the word as to how impressed I have been with your work to anyone and everyone who will listen, including a couple who actually show standard poodles. Neither my girlfriend nor I can wait to see the look on our respective parents faces when they open their pictures on Christmas day. I foresee many tears of joy. Once again many thanks, Keep up the great work and I hope to place future orders with you.
