Pet Portraits by Commission

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees therefore a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves, and there in we err, we greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by the man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and more complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth." Henry Beston, The Outermost House, (Viking Press 1972)

"Your beautiful paintings were waiting on my door step when I arrived home. Even as I'm typing this, I have glanced to my left, feeling my heart warm for several reasons. There is Sadie My Lady painted by my friend Katy from a photo I took on a trip with dear friends. What a meaningful painting! I'm glad it's here to keep me company!" Debby R.

"Thank you SO much, (the painting of Butter) is absolutely beautiful – I'm stunned! I can't wait to give it to her, I think she'll love it (she really loves that dog!)". Susan W.

"I'm blown away. It just captures everything about Pike, spirit, too (which I know is part of what your talent is). It's beautiful! Just wanted to let you know how happy it is making me." Nikki S.

"Jane and Kevin love (LOVE LOVE LOVE) the picture of Loola Mae who sat placidly on Kevin's lap while he opened it. She is a winner, and so is the painting...." Susan M.

"Just wanted to let you know that the painting arrived safely and we are very happy with it. The painting looks wonderful! That's our Griz-we love it! Thank you so much!" Pat D.

"Your painting of Ada is simply amazing. It is so beautiful, it made me teary. Her eyes, and the lighting, everything. Even Dad's hands are unmistakably his. I just wanted to let you know how incredible it is. Has Leah seen it? She's going to die!" Nikki S.
