As the owner of the subject, I feel immensely privileged to have such a talented artist recreate a photo in such an eye-capturing picture. This pastel is so realistic, down to each strand of hair. You can imagine how soft the dog feels. Lynne has expressed the dog's personality with such depth and detail in the eye that it makes you wonder what she was thinking. A look I've seen several times, which continues to draw me back and smile every time. - M Wagener

We are really pleased, indeed amazed, at the superb pastel drawing of our dog, Sonya. Lynne has captured the true essence of our dog. Her eyes and smile are really alive. The set of her head, which really shows her interaction with us, has been beautifully and accurately interpreted. Lynne's abilities are fully on display in this piece. - Denise & Graeme

The outcome speaks for itself, I believe, and I am thrilled with the result – but it is the process that is far and away the best bit! From locating the best images to taking further images to get the tail and flight feathers the exact shape and colour, I enjoyed this part of the process so much. I really appreciated the manner in which Lynne approached her work with a fastidious attention to detail. The resultant collection of budgies in simple eucalyptus branches exceeded my expectation by a huge margin and I am completely delighted with the result. Now to find the perfect frame and the best place to display this treasured work of art!

“Lynne has captured our cat so perfectly. She’s a very good-looking cat and Lynne’s likeness is like a photo. We are thrilled.” -D Foster

Back in April I had the unenviable task of helping my lovely Border Collie Minnie on her final voyage over the Rainbow Bridge . My sister in law had taken a lovely photo of Min prior to her passing so I asked a friend of mine Lynne P Dean who is an awesome artist, if she was able to reconstruct a pastel drawing of Min which I could get framed and hang on my wall . Lynne did a fantastic job, even framing the drawing for me so so I can have her on my wall in pride of place . I thoroughly recommend Lynne who is a fantastic reproduction artist and I am sure that any body who has had work done by this clever person , would be completely satisfied with her work . With regards Graeme Earles

"Lynne has done a remarkable job capturing the likeness and character of my two cats, Felix and Molly. We chatted on the phone about their characters, discussed the photos I sent to ensure the best were chosen and she kept me informed on progress, starting with the pencil outlines through to the finished portraits. A wonderful lasting memory of my two cats by a wonderful, skilled and caring artist." - Dr R J Taylor

"This is a beautiful picture of Micha. I love it. Drawn so perfectly by a long time friend, Lynne Dean. She is so very talented and I've often admired her work, but never so much as now as this is just so much Micha, his expression, character, details, all just right. Thank you so much doing this Lynne, for taking your time to do this for us." - Y Parsons

“Lynne did a portrait of my Frenchie Eloise as a gift for my 40th birthday. It is a wonderful likeness of my baby girl, and I couldn’t be happier with it” - Dougal

Ceaser is a 19 year old cat, so I wanted a memory of him, for when he passes. Lynne is a very professional artist, did exactly what I wanted and I am so amazed how perfectly she portrayed Ceaser. I would recommend her to anyone who wants these memories. - Julie Eagle
