a photo. and of course i am amazed at how well you
captureed
my beloved Jack Midget who was murdered two years ago. It
looks
so like her that if I look too long I feel the tears starting
again! I can't wait to get it framed and hung."

Grandma's
portrait is on the wall, and it is beautiful! I like
everything about it, and so does everyone who has seen it so
far. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job
in capturing her face and, from what I have been
told, her personality, in this pastel---I shall treasure it.
I appreciate, also, your repairing the damage suffered in the framing
process and for meeting me half-way with the portrait when you
were done.
Chris as well as Andy came from the Art Shop to hang it
Thursday---Chris is so tall he doesn't need a ladder. As soon
as it was in place over my living room mantle, the entire room was
transformed. And that is a good thing. I keep going
in there just to look at it.

HE LOVED IT!
Absolutely loved it.
The kids were so excited to give it to him...and I was right, he thinks
we should hang it on a different wall than where I planned!
Thanks Amy

 I
just wanted to
share with you how excited we are about the portrait of Lily When I
showed it to my family they loved it. My grandmother thought it was for
her. My mother had tears in her eyes and my father wanted to hang it in
his workshop. I wanted this portrait for a gift to my husband
(
really me) so he could hang it in the house where I wanted. He insists
hanging in his office where everyone can see! Needless to say he loves
it! Thank you for a treasure that has touched the hearts of my
family! I have coffee to send to you! You should receive it
in a
couple of weeks. The mail runs slow here in Costa Rica. Thanks you
again.

For
years I have dreamed of having a portrait done of my children and like
many of us I “never got around to it”. When Theresa
brown became a resident artist at The Cotton Company and I got a chance
to not only view a good variety of her work but also talk to her about
how she works and the whole process, I realized I had finally found the
right person to do this portrait.
I
gave the portrait of our two daughters as a surprise birthday present
to my husband and he and I are both so happy with the results. When the
girls go off to college this portrait which has captured not only their
likeness, but also their spirit, will be a reminder of so many happy
memories!
Thank
you Theresa!

 “Theresa
took several family photos supplied by me and turned it into a single
masterpiece! I then surprised my family with the portrait for
Christmas. It has become a cherished artwork in our home and
hangs over our fireplace in our den!”

 We
love the portrait of our
daughter Claire that was masterfully painted by Theresa Brown. Theresa
was extremely easy to work with and very attentive to our visions of a
portrait that captured the true essence of our sweet daughter. Theresa
communicated with us during the process and finished the portrait in a
timely matter. We would recommend Theresa to anyone who is interested
in a quality portrait. We will cherish this piece for many years to
come.”

best things
I ever thought to do." |

receiving
her pencil portrait (see cameos) of her husband, son and their favorite

"Dear
Theresa, People
who ride or work with horses can always remember that
special horse that stood apart from the rest. It is
often due to exceptional talent or confirmation or maybe outstanding
bloodlines. Our special horse didn't have any of those
characteristics. He was a 24 year old quarter horse with
nothing special about his confirmation or his
talent. What made him stand apart was his gentle nature and
his willingness to do his best and take care of his
rider. Charlotte and I have struggled
since his death in October. We miss our
friend. You can not imagine my surprise when I opened this
beautiful portrait on Christmas morning. You captured so
completely the sweetness of his face and his wise old eyes.
You also captured perfectly the face of a little girl
who thought he was just about the best friend anyone
could have in life. Thank you for doing such a beautiful
job. I will treasure it always."

"Everytime
we walk by our portraits we
know we have captured a moment in time. It's amazing and comforting. My
children are away infrequently, but that will change and so will they.
These portraits never will. They are ours forever and so is that moment
in time. Thank you for capturing it for us."

and Mrs. R. Stancil

"I
wanted to let
you know
that the picture you did of my horse, "Chant", & me together is
gorgeous. I just got it back from the framer yesterday. I received it
on Wed, Nov 9th. Unfortunately, the very next day Chant colicked really
bad & I had to put him down. [she is a vet ] That was the
hardest thing I have ever done. I will miss him, but I have this
wonderful portrait on my wall of our last horse show. I have nothing
but good memories of our 23 years together. Thank you for everything."

I
was very
blessed and feel honored to have received one of your pencil sketches
as a Christmas gift this morning. As you know Webster, our Great Dane
Hound mix dog, had to be put to sleep 2 weeks ago. He was one of our
family members for 10 wonderful years. Having to say good bye to him
has been a time of real sadness and especially tough during the holiday
season. Webster was one of those pets that stole every square inch of
my heart and was a soul mate.
You did a fabulous job of capturing his true character, spirit, and the
unconditional love he shared effortlessly. When I opened it I cried
tears of happiness.......... it was so comforting to see his face
portrayed in the soft and gentle manor your sketching captures.
I understand you were under a real time crunch when my husband talked
with you about this job. I am VERY appreciative for the dedication to
your work and the effort you went to so I could open Webster's sketch
Christmas morning.
I can not thank you enough and words can not adequately articulate what
a special gift this is to me. The sketch of Webster will have a very
special spot
in our home. Thanks you SO MUCH!!
Sincerely- Alice Brunk |
