In the second photo, you will see a picture of the completed painting.  The painting looks just as good (if not better in my opinion) as the original.  The painting measures 20″ x 30″ and it is an oil on canvas.

I just wanted to thank the company and especially the artist for doing such an amazing job on the picture of the dog.  It was for a friend of mine whose dog had its leg amputated because of cancer and then the dog passed away because of the cancer weeks later.  I gave her the painting yesterday and it brought tears of happiness to her face. She absolutely loved it and couldn’t believe how life-like it looked.  You guys really brought happiness back to her and your artist is extremely gifted.  I will absolutely use you guys in the future and recommend you to everyone.  Thanks again for the painting as she will cherish it forever!

This person really liked a painting done by Eugène Delacroix and wanted her cat painted in a similar fashion. The customer emailed us two photos, one of her cat and one of the painting she liked. I’ve attached the two pictures below, and below those pictures is a picture of the completed painting.
