Announcement Dear shopper. As a child my Mum was told I would never do well, not good at maths or English but I was good at art. So the reason why my watercolours are outstandingly intricate is to show I am unique in every way and Mrs Homes was wrong. We are all talented at something.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful soft colours and nice detail in the painting. Even though it's not a large painting, it catches your eye in the room. It was a gift for my husband but we both love it. Unusual size but I got a custom made frame for it.

5 out of 5 starslovely item. i wanted something that honors dandelions because i loved them as a child, but didn't want a painting that had that sort of almost universal effect in paintings of daisies and danelions of pastel colors and the like as a sort of cloud background. and i got it. nice seller (and nice painter). thank you,

5 out of 5 starsMichelle painted the most beautiful portrait of my daughter’s cat (purchased as a Christmas present). The detail in the portrait is incredible and my daughter was delighted. Throughout the process Michelle sent updates showing how the painting was progressing. When it was completed it was shipped promptly and securely. Thoroughly recommend this artist.

5 out of 5 starsAmazing! I had asked Michelle to do a portrait of our much loved Westie, Harvey, as a gift to my husband on our wedding day. Michelle was wonderful to work with, keeping me updated every step of the way and had him turned around much quicker than I had expected. My new husband loves his gift and we're both so impressed with the attention to detail, and likeness. I'm only sorry I couldn't review sooner, but I would have been rumbled if I had, sorry, Michelle!!!

The start of a Kingfisher painted in watercolour
Precision portraits of precious pets. Every whisker, every hair, every feather, every glint in the eye immortalized by fine brushwork.
My earliest memory of wanting to be an Artist was at my 2nd school. My art teacher Mr Rowe was the one that encouraged me and gave me a box of oil paints. This was gold to me at the time. He gave me my future and life with that box of paints. I still have them now. Thank you Mr Rowe.
