Ozzy, Colooney Whippet

 

Testimonial;  When we commissioned Sheena to do a portrait of Ozzy, she insisted on spending time with him to get to know him.  We are so happy with the final outcome as she has really captured the essence of his personality.  It’s the Ozzy we see sitting on the couch beside us every night.  We also love the painting on the coaster, cushion, greeting cards and key chain.

The Magnificent Red Setters, Ruairi and Regan

“Sheena visited our home and spent lovely time with our two red heads, Ruari and Regan .She spent time with both of them in our home and yard to get to know them and see their personalities. Through spending time with them she really captured both of their individual manners and interactions.

It is truly amazing to see in drawings and the paintings our precious girls come to life as we know them. We love everything she did. It was difficult to decide which portrait to choose.

All really captured their personalities as we know them.”

Wolfhound, Trinity College Dublin – engagement commission

 


While my Pet Personality Portraits feature the pet, I am sometimes asked to paint a pet with a special toy or in a particular place. An example is a painting of Sarah and Mark walking through the front gates of Trinity College Dublin with their Irish Wolf Hound, Ceili.

TESTIMONIAL

“When I commissioned Sheena to paint a picture to give as an engagement gift for my daughter Sarah and her fiancĂ© Mark I had an idea, an emotion I was trying to portray.

After lengthy discussions, emails and a meeting, Sheena understood what I wanted and put her brilliant talent to work. I was absolutely delighted when I saw the finished painting, it had so much more meaning than I could ever have imagined.

Sarah and Mark had met while studying in Trinity College. Sheena did a beautiful painting of Trinity but also of Sarah and Mark and Sarah’s beautiful Irish Wolfhound Ceili alongside them walking from the arch towards the front gates. It was just perfect, and it is now hanging very proudly over their fireplace.

Sheena also painted in gold, two wedding bands entwined and after their marriage she will inscribe the dates in the bands.

This is a precious gift that they will always treasure.

Thank you so much Sheena for your dedication and your attention to detail, for listening and for all your hard work and for giving us a wonderful painting that will be in our family for many many generations.”

P. Darcy, Co. Wicklow

Millie

 

Testimonial; Millie

Our dog died suddenly.  It was a shock, she was such an amazing dog and a part of the family for 12 years.  We decided to commission a painting of Millie for the family for Christmas.  The wordscape Sheena advised us to do helped us to think about the many facets of Millie’s personality. Sheena took lots of time to hear stories about Millie and really got the portrait right.  The family’s reaction on Christmas Day was an emotional one, as it was a surprise present.  The painting of Millie now hangs in the living room.  Rather than an empty space we have a beautiful painting to remember Millie in a positive way.
