Gift recipient's remarks on Portrait of George: "I absolutely adore it. You did a fabulous job of capturing the love in his eyes and his general Georgieness! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it's actually the nicest gift I've ever received."

“I saw Leslie's work at an art tour in the fall and thought it would be a great idea to have portraits of our cats done as a surprise gift for my husband for Christmas.  We started with one cat, and then the second and then because I loved the first two portraits so much, I commissioned a third painting of the two furry friends together.  Leslie was fabulous to work with - she looked at my pictures, asked questions, sent me notes or  "drafts" along the way and created beautiful portraits that manage to show not just the colouring of the cats but also their personalities!  I highly recommend Leslie!”

“I was the lucky recipient of a pet portrait of my late dog, Charlie. My friend surprised me with this gift and Leslie was able to brilliantly capture the essence of Charlie from a single photograph and I couldn’t be more pleased. The colouring and attention to detail is fantastic but more than the technical parts Leslie was able to perfectly capture the personality and character of my much loved Charlie. It gives me immense pleasure to see his picture every day and remember how lucky I was to have Charlie in my life for over 15 years”.

“Leslie is an extremely talented artist with a keen eye for detail. Highly recommended.”

“Leslie painted a portrait of our family dog. She truly saw Finn’s personality and captured it perfectly. Her attention to detail is incredible and her talent is remarkable. Leslie is a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely recommend.”

“I asked Leslie to paint a picture of the view from our beloved ski chalet that we sold two years ago.  The painting looks out onto the trees at sunset, with the cloud filled valley in the background.  Leslie captured the gorgeous orange and blue tones in the snow covered trees so perfectly, that I feel I am back on the balcony.  It means so much to our family.  It is a beautiful reminder of all the fun we had out west.  I am so grateful to Leslie and her amazing talent for giving us this perfect memento.”

“Leslie did an extraordinary job of capturing our dear Lenny.  He was a handsome lab and had such an expressive face and Leslie brought him to life in her painting.   Leslie is so talented and is truly patient in dealing with her clients. I would give her a 100% recommendation.”

“I commissioned Leslie to paint a portrait of our dog as a gift for my husband.  The portrait was beautiful!!!  She captured our dog perfectly!  The whole family loves it!”

“Leslie painted my two cats from a photo I sent her and captured them perfectly.  The final result looked just like the photo/just like my cats!  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends or family.”
