Some words of praise from my pet portrait clients:
Hello Eric,
The portrait was just delivered to my door. I must say, it is simply stunning. Looking at it made me want to smile and cry at the same time. It is so beautiful. You truly captured the love I have for Rose and her love for me. She looks so beautiful in the portrait it made me start to cry. Thanks to the gorgeous portrait, in some way, I feel as if I have a portion of my sweet girl back in my home with me. I am also thrilled with your portrayal of me. You created a truly remarkable piece of art that I will treasure for the rest of my life. I am grateful to you for working with me to create an image that previously existed only in my heart. If ever someone is interested in commissioning a portrait from you, but wants a reference first, please feel free to have them contact me. I will gladly tell them of the beauty of your work and the patience, kindness, and guidance you offer while taking a portrait from idea to reality.
You are a remarkable artist, and I hope to be able to work with you again someday.
Sincerely,
Mara Chontos-Gilchrist
Thank you so much for the wonderful portrait of my dog Buddy. I must say it was done with such detail that is like looking at him face to face. As with many dog owners, these pets become our children and we cherish and protect them as we would any family member. I did not expect such a great birthday and life time gift. Again thank-you. In the future we may have you do another portrait of our dog Logan, he is a 7 month old Beagle.

Hi Eric –
I received it today – it’s just awesome! Again, thanks so much for your work and capturing my best friend. I have lots of “friends in dogs” so maybe they will also want a portrait of their dogs. Everyone that saw the photo of the portrait and knows Kolby, sez “he really captured her expression”. Yes, it will be easy to find a frame so I’m on the hunt now.
Thanks, Marsha Baker
Eric, the portrait you did of Allie was incredible! Allie was my wife’s baby before we had any children and when I presented her with the portrait Christmas morning, we both broke down in tears. It’s the best gift I have ever given her!
Thanks.

Hi Eric,
I did receive the portrait; it looks absolutely beautiful! It arrived within a couple of days after you shipped it, impeccably, no problems whatsoever. I can’t wait to give it to Natalie next week, it’s been so hard holding onto it. I know she will be so thrilled and very touched – it’s really incredible! Thank you so much for checking in, I really appreciate it very much!
I hope you have a fantastic day!
All the best, Ellie
I love Jinks’ portrait. Every day it’s a wonderful reminder of what a sweet little guy he was. I have it in a smooth, heavy gold frame that sets it off beautifully. Everyone who sees it is impressed by how you are able to capture the spark of life in two dimensions. Judy Menown
Hi Eric. I just picked up the portrait today and it is amazing. It’s so beautiful I hardly have the words. My mom will cry when she sees it, I’m sure. Thank you so much, this is going to be a wonderful Christmas present for an elderly lady who is missing her friends very much.
Thank you so much again! Alyson
Eric………
The picture of Rebecca is perfect. You could not have captured her spirit any better. I am amazed. Thank you so much.

My Mum absolutely treasures her portrait of Al,you did a fantastic job. It is taking pride of place next to a photograph of her other dog Chip who died in 1994. Carolyn
Hi Eric,
Just to let you know that I received the portrait about an hour ago. I gave it to my husband since it was an anniversary/birthday gift. I couldn’t wait. The suspense was driving me crazy. I have to say he was speechless. He really loves it, and can’t believe how life like it looks. It brought tears to both of us. Thanks once again, and for returning the photos.
Cathy
Eric, I have received the portrait and I love it! I am taking it in this evening to have it framed. Great choices on the matting too. Thank you so much. I’ll be in touch, probably next year. We have 2 Dachshunds that I’d like done but I’ve got to dig through my pics and fine a good one, or else I’ll take more.
Thanks again, happy holidays.

Hi Eric, The portrait arrived yesterday in perfect condition and it’s AWESOME! Thank you again. Regards, Gail Simmons
All I can say is WoW! You are incredibly talented…please provide directions on the best way to keep it looking good for as long as possible and framing advice. Honestly Eric, it is the best portrait I have ever seen. She loved it of course and very soon you will be hearing from me to do another!
Looking forward to your next great work of art! Jordan Messer
Eric – He thought it was great and that you did a great job as an artist. We would certainly consider you in the future for any commissions of our animals. I would be happy to be listed as a reference if you would like. J. Martin
Eric,
I just wanted to say again how thrilled I am with Mandy’s portrait. I am just so amazed with your talent. My 40th birthday is a couple weeks away and I have to say this is the best birthday gift I have ever received. It is a comfort to know after Mandy is gone I will have such a beautiful reminder that will keep her close in my heart. Thank you again.

Eric, Since Christmas I’ve been meaning to write you. I gave my husband the portrait you did of Lykos, and he immediately became overwhelmed with emotion. He is so impressed with the detail and the likeness of the portrait to Lykos. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to top this gift! Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do!
Sincerely, Lisa
Eric, this portrait of Guieseppe is so beautiful that I could cry if it wasn’t for being at work. You captured the beloved bump in his snout and the velvety texture of his ears and it just is so lovely.
I am thrilled with it. Thrilled. I could never thank you enough for the gift of such a beautiful painting. Thank you!
Emily
PS. It is so lovely …. I’m so happy, Eric. You are very gifted. You captured him perfectly. I would love to have you do one of my other dog sometime soon and perhaps another of Guieseppe.
Eric,
I just let out a GASP when I just saw this now !!!!!!!!!!! (I was out of town till last night). It is so perfect it has brought tears to my eyes. You made Ozzie come to life. I cannot WAIT to give this to her for Christmas. It is going to be SO HARD to wait.
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it. I am just thrilled to death.
I will get your fee off immediately. Eric, I am stunned. This is incredible what you just did.
Connie
(Later she sent the following message:)
Eric !!!!
You should have been there when Carla opened Ozzie. Her eyes just about bugged out of her head, and she just started bawling, and she just couldn’t get over what an exact likeness you got of him. You scored BIG POINTS, Eric!!!!
Connie
Eric
The painting was a huge hit and everyone loves it. Absolutely looks amazing. Her eyes and fur are dead on. Great job. Thank you so much – made my sisters day. Its the best present she says she has ever gotten!
Merry Christmas !
Bill
Eric,
Thought you would like to know, Khara received her portrait and loves it!! I told her to open it early as she had a tough week. Please let me know how much I owe you for shipping the framed picture back. Unless you object, I mail cash via USPS to the Sierra address. Thanks so much for your efforts and help!
Sincerely, Teague
Eric,
Just wanted to let you know the portrait was received. Jeff loved it and it looks beautiful hanging in our home. Thank you again and Happy New Year!
Shonna
Hi Eric,
What can I say? This is absolutely magnificent! What a beautiful tribute to our Mocha Baby! This is exactly the way we remember her!
Please let us know exactly how much we owe you (including shipping) so we can get a check out to you ASAP. And, of course, please don’t forget to sign and date this masterpiece. I’m predicting many people will be asking us for the name of the artist!
Thank you so much, Eric! Next to getting Mocha on my 28th birthday, this is the best birthday present I ever received!
Sharlene
Hi Eric, I was able to pick it up at the post office yesterday and it looks fantastic!!! I can hardly wait to get it framed and hung up on the wall! Thank you! Jo
Hi Eric
Just wanted to let you know that I received the portrait of Maggie and was very satisfied. I picked out a lovely frame and can’t wait to give it to my husband next week (the man framing the picture thought it was very well done, also).
We have a new puppy (attached file) and when she fills out – I’ll be contacting you again so that I can have matching portraits.
thanks so much Maureen Lippert
