Hello everyone, I paint pet portraits in pastel. For $65.00 you can have a
portrait of your beloved pet. These are 100% guaranteed. Roughly A4 size.
These make the nicest gifts! I work from photographs which tend to stay
still longer! :) Let me know if you'd like your pet painted.

Regards
Wendy (New Plymouth)

What, exactly, does the guarantee cover?

Good stuff, as I've got hundreds of the little buggers.
So do you think that you could do a large group picture of all them in
different states of poses for me, with full detail of course?
On a nice picnic setting would be good.
If that turns out okay, I'd like use your good services once again. To
do an action picture of the little buggers, this time with an Aardvark in
the picture as well. As I'm sure Bruce Simpson wouldn't mind too much
lending me his for a good feed anyway.

Regards,
E. Scrooge the ant farmer ;-)))

Wendy has proved she is not precious about her talents and likes a bit of
fun. Besides this her work is great , I have seen a couple of examples and I
intend to give her a commission. Sounds a bit toffee nosed, seeing it is
just of our old moggy. I hope she does well.

I hope she does well?
Eh? Just what do you mean by that?
You hope that your old moggy does well?
Or that Wendy does well?
Cheeky bugger ;-)

I'm sure since moggy is old and could possibly cark it at anytime, that
you'd be pleased to have a fine portrait done by local news group artist,
Wendy. No doubt she feels talented enough to offer her services, so I'm
sure old moggy will turn out well on canvas.
This commission of yours sounds very good, as no doubt it could lead to
further contracts, such as a portrait of yourself.

Here's to old moggy ;-)
