'KI'
This is a detail shot of a commissioned portrait of “Ki’. This lovely 3yo girl was lost to cancer much to the sorrow of her owner, who did everything she could to give Ki a great life. The day we went out for the photo shoot Ki was so happy and full of life, playing fetch in the park with us. Ki was the perfect model, providing me with beautiful photos to work with. The presentation of the portrait to the owner was emotional indeed.

This is another one of those really good paintings where the viewer has to study it closely to decide if it is a photo or a painting … marvellous.

This is a brilliantly skilled piece of art Heartco. The detail is top rate, and that sparkle is just right.
Heidi Garner
Thankyou so much everyone. Yes, the sparkle, I use to do a sparkle somewhere in every picture. Then, for some reason I stopped. Now it’s time to continue ‘The Sparkle’ :)

This is absolutely wonderful! We too lost our girl, Bella, to cancer last year, so I can imagine how emotional the occasion of the presentation of the finished piece, was.
