Commissioned dog portrait of Kipper.

Private collection - Australia

Testimonial:  "After my husband losing his best friend Kippa in tragic circumstances I commissioned Leanne to do a portrait of Kippa.

My husband was devastated with her loss and he felt that no matter what he did in his day to day life he felt lost as his beloved friend and companion was not right beside him with every move he made.  Kippa never left his side and always greeted him everyday when he arrived home they always had their bonding time as soon as he arrived.

I wanted to give him something special for his birthday so after viewing Leanne's incredible portraits I knew then what it had to be.  We had plenty of photos of Kippa but nothing could capture what Leanne captured in her portrait. 

Kippa's eyes were gentle but yet she was thinking all the time what adventure and excitement she would go on today with her master. 

When I first saw the portrait I sat and cried as I could see right into Kippa's eyes where her heart and soul was.  I have never felt the emotion I felt that day.

When I was finally able to give my husband his birthday present his first reaction was he looked at me, then at the portrait, then back at me - his eyes filled with tears and he said "that's my girl".  He was lost for words and very emotional, he was completely blown away by how Leanne captured the look in her eyes as he said "I feel her looking into me with her heart and soul like she always did.  I miss her so much".  He couldn't believe it was actually a pencil drawing.

Leanne we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  Kippa's portrait will hang where we can greet her every day and say goodnight to her every night.  You are an unbelievable talented woman, and to touch people's hearts the way you do it is the most amazing thing anyone could ever do.  Your talent is a gift, please don't ever stop.

I will definitely be back for more portraits.

Thank you - a huge hug to you,

Karen & Tony Fenwick"
