"We recently lost 2 of our dogs and since we had a beautiful picture done a few years ago by Robert we decided to get 2 more done. The quality is outstanding from Robert, such beautiful portraits"
"Bobby's pencil portraits: Robert is a fantastic artist, we commissioned him to draw a portrait of our two beautiful cocker spaniels Morgant & Maisie. They are sister and brother, nearly 11 year old and Morgant has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer which can be managed effectively to prolong his life. (Thank goodness). So we decided to have a portrait of the them done which we can enjoy whilst they are with us and also to remember them fondly when their time comes. We found Bobby's pencil portraits on the internet and were very impressed with the website and the examples of his work.
