“I can't thank Dan enough for the absolutely stunning portrait he drew of our beloved dog Dexter. It was a surprise present for my husband on our 1st wedding anniversary and it brought us both to happy tears. The details are stunning and he captured the exact character of him down to the finest detail. Dan send me progress pictures which was lovely and really interesting to see the picture develop over time. If anyone is looking for a portrait I simply can't recommend Dan enough. Absolutely top bloke too ❤️”
