  • "Bailey was that one, very special pet that was such a big part of our family. When I asked Melissa to paint his portrait, I knew that using various snapshots that we had taken of him over the years might prove difficult as none of these pictures truly did him justice. Melissa took the time to find the essence of Bailey. I believe that she captured his playful spirit and his gentle soul, and we are so happy with the finished portrait!"
