A departed pet
« on: Wednesday 07 June 23 00:55 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone, it's been a bit since I've been on here. Hope all is well.

A friend recently had to say goodbye to her beloved kitty, and I was hoping one of our magic restorers might be able to remake a photo. Athena was a white/beige cat and as such I'm not sure she'd have a lot of definition. But I was hoping someone could make her into a watercolour-looking portrait. There are businesses that offer this sort of thing but they are at the moment unaffordable.

Please let me know what you think.

Cheers and many thanks,
China

Hi Peter, these are wonderful, very sweet! Thank you for your artistry!

I see you have McGregors. Are they in Oz only or have you traced them back through Scotland? They are a fascinating (and sometimes horrifying) clan and there is much written on them.

Thank you again,

Hiya jf, how have you been?

A cracking couple of photo treatments, very lovely! Thank you for your hard work, kind of have a French impressionist look to them  :D
