"Hello again, Amanda,
I just wanted to tell you how pleased Dan was with Frank's portrait when I gave it to him earlier today.
We both feel you have really captured Frank's likeness and having set the portrait in his beloved watery background you have added a context that is perfect for Frank.
Dan was especially pleased with the eyes..so difficult to do but such an integral part of the dog himself.
Once agin thank you very much. You have made a very special birthday present for me to give.
I will be singing the praises of your undoubted talents to others and hope you have many new customers."
