Some testimonials from customers for original paintings and pet portraits...
"Rupali's rendering of my German Shepherd, Asha is amazing! She has captured the heart and soul of my beloved companion that will last a lifetime."
- Dale T, for Asha
"Rupali's paintings of our cat Evie are spectacular. Evie's quiet, pensive nature is captured beautifully through in the portraits. I most especially love the realism Rupali portrays in her paintings while retaining the natural expression of watercolors."
- Sarah M, for Evie and Evie 2
"We could not be more pleased with the results of our pet portrait commission! The process was so easy and allowed for us to be involved during the creation process. We provided several photos that we felt would make good candidates, and Rupali offered opinions on which ones she felt would make for the most beautiful portrait. Towards the end of the process, Rupali sought our insight on details such as color options for the background (providing examples), taking our preferences and home décor into consideration. The wonderful attention to details provided a stunning keepsake of our beloved Mr. Thing that we are thrilled to showcase in our home and will provide us with cherished memories for years to come!"
- Bill P, for Mr Thing
"I could not be happier with how Rupali was able to capture the true essence of my old cat, Ares. Her painting brings back fond memories and a special feeling that you simply cannot get from a photograph. Everyone I have shared it with has been extremely impressed with how accurately her work reflects how he looked in life."
- Kris C, for Ares
"When my father-in-law passed away recently, I knew a painting by Rupali would be the perfect way to commemorate him. Rupali was able to recreate my wife's fondest memory of her dad: when he walked her down the aisle on our wedding day. Her color selection and attention to detail perfectly captured the moment. I often catch my wife looking at the painting and smiling. She absolutely loves it!"
- Kris C, for Wedding Memories
"I worked with Rupali in a professional capacity for several years and can attest to her responsiveness and attention to detail in everything she takes on. When our first Great Dane Fawn passed away from cancer, I commissioned Rupali to capture her as a surprise for my wife. She expertly lifted Fawn's image and personality from one of the best photos we have of her - us holding her on a leash at our wedding! The results were truly stunning and my wife cried when she first saw it. This was definitely a healing part of our grieving and now her immortal image is there looking down upon us and our other pups every day. We will be commissioning our 2nd Great Dane and our Blue Heeler soon!"
- Dominic F, for Fawn
"Simply the best gift! Crouton was the most gentle soul. Her people fell hard in love with her and I wanted to give them something that would make them smile.
My daughter's comments when she saw the preview: "Wow, it's SO beautiful I want to cry!!!!. I can't get over how great it looks; I could think it's a photo from the preview."
Her husband said "It's unbelievable! Truly stunning!"
I enjoy how collaborative Rupali is when she is working on a project (this is my 2nd commission). She created a beautiful rendering of our Crouton. Her attention to the smallest details and her kindness in including us in the process were much appreciated. My daughter was also really happy she could pick a background color for the portrait.
Thanks for sharing your artistic talent with the world Rupali!"
- Nancy W, for Crouton
"Bria Brings Joy! Bria is the happiest little girl. She actually makes you feel good, by just being around her.
Rupali really captured her playful spirit and the sparkle in her eyes. What’s the next fun adventure, is all over her face! (or maybe it’s where’s my treat)? Her humans are very happy with her portrait. A truly one of a kind special keepsake."
- Nancy W, for Bria
"I commissioned a painting of my friend's 2 chihuahua mixes (Penny and Nickel) from Rupali as a Christmas gift. I absolutely loved the final work and was impressed with her fast turnaround. It helped that I had a good picture of the dogs together, but she still was able to bring the image to life - she managed to capture their personalities as well as their likeness. My friend loved the painting and makes everyone who comes over go admire it. It made a really special gift and will give her a beautiful reminder of them even after they are gone."
- Christine M, for Penny and Nickel
"Rupali created a lovely work from a photo of our dog Zoe, that now hangs where I can see it every day. She perfectly captured Zoe's mood and personality."
- Jim C, for Zoe
