Sam

Here he is, Sam, all finished and now gone to his new home - thank you Nicola and Steve for giving me the most enjoyable of commissions. I feel quite lost without having to put aside a couple of hours each day to get on with him. Not for long - the next commission is waiting in the wings but first I'll have a couple of days off!

Absolutely delighted with our Sam, will be a lovely permanent reminder of a very dear friend for almost 14 years. Caroline you have made a brillant job and captured his character perfectly. Left it at the framing shop now, feel quite lost already although we only had it for a few hours. Can't wait for the end of the week when we can collect the framed picture. Will then finding the perfect spot to hang it and showing it off to all who knew him and some that didn't. Thanks again Caroline we are deligthed, Nicola and Steve

Nicola and Steve, it was an absolute pleasure - so glad you like it. My easel looks empty without him too!

Caroline - the painting is magnificent. I love the way you've captured Sam's wet fur and the rendering of the water is remarkable. Fabulous work!
