The scratch­board portrait I ordered of my cat was simply amaz­ing.  It really captured his like­ness and is so high qual­ity!  The portrait was a gift for my spouse, who loved it so much he was on the verge of tears upon open­ing it.  It was also a really easy process with Sherry, and I would highly recom­mend look­ing to her if you are want­ing your own pet portrait!  I’ve never given a gift that elicited such an emotional response and I am so glad that I had Sherry to guide this process.

Three 5 x 7 pet portraits. Pen and ink wash on water­color paper.

The trio of kitten portraits were amaz­ingly real­is­tic. I still have to doublecheck the eyes since the details were so life­like. I espe­cially enjoyed how each image showed differ­ent head posi­tions and captured their indi­vid­ual person­al­i­ties. Even though Sherry worked on these inde­pen­dently, it was almost like she planned the layout in advance. I was able to frame them in one long frame and they looked so good that my framer asked for her contact details! I defi­nitely recom­mend Sherry’s services to anyone look­ing to capture a near photo qual­ity memory of a beloved pet.

5 x 7 oil paint­ing on archival Ampersand panel.

This is an outstand­ing portrait; real­is­tic in subject and setting, captur­ing both the essence and nuance(s) of my Great Pyrenees, Kex. Not merely a depic­tion, but more of a repre­sen­ta­tion of both his stat­uesque phys­iog­nomy, as well as his noble, yet play­ful character. 

Through subtle touches of light, shade, shadow, color and posi­tion, his features are brought to vivid view in ways that convey so much about the spirit and demeanor of my beloved dog.

The style is clas­si­cal, remi­nis­cent of the English and American schools of the mid-nineteenth century, with a notable current empha­sis upon actual, rather than inter­pre­tive realism.

Simply put, this fine work serves as  the visual center­piece — and frequent conver­sa­tional focus of those who enter —  my study.

8x10 scratch­board pet portrait.

Wow, wow, wow!
His mother loves your scratch­board portrait memo­ri­al­iz­ing her cham­pion poodle, Licky. She was so happy—almost in tears. She was really impressed with how you captured Licky’s eyes and how they look at you. The portrait now hangs in a prized spot in her home. This is amaz­ing Sherry! You are super talented!!
