What does it feel like to own and love a portrait by fine arts painter, Roseann Gaglio? In their own words . . .
"My friend, Debbie, describes her Australian Shepherd as 'The love of my life.' So as her birthday approached this year, I wanted to do something special. I shared a few photos of Toby with Roseann and she did the most awesome painting of him. It is obvious that Roseann is an animal lover in addition to her amazing talent as an artist. If you or anyone you know would like to capture the love of their life on canvas or paper, Roseann is the person to do it for you. I would recommend her work 100%." Rita C., FL
"I just received the picture. OMG, it's so beautiful and amazing. Also, the little picture of my girl. That was so unexpected and truly so gorgeous!" Courtney P., NC
"Our artwork of Jada is as beautiful as the actual photograph! Absolutely amazing! You are so talented!"

"Painting came today in perfect condition. Just love it in its original form! Sarah and her family will no doubt feel the same way." Neil C., Idaho, who gifted his daughter a painting of her house, a total surprise.
Sarah's reaction: “What? Oh my gosh! It’s beautiful. Look at our house, you guys!
Oh my gosh!”
"I'm so impressed with your rendition of the Bean. You caught a perfect likeness AND you created a gorgeous work of art in the bargain. It was more than I hoped for. Truly a pet masterpiece which we will treasure forever. Thank you, thank you."

"I am indeed enjoying the painting, I absolutely love it! I have to say the whole process was the beginning of a healing journey for me and having the painting has finally allowed me to begin filling my heart back up with the love of my Maynard and Sherman, replacing the pain of their loss. It's a beautiful gift to be able to give someone. You are truly a gifted person."

"My husband, Dave, flipped over my portrait. He was in awe and loved it. He said, 'THAT IS YOU!' I am so ecstatic about how you interpreted the B&W photo I supplied you. You captured the innocence and essence of a two-year-old looking in a mirror. Just so happens, the feelings are the same emotions of today . . . decades later. This is a treasure beyond treasure."

"AHHHHHHHH! Collette's picture arrived today. Very excited. Too cute and very accurate capture of her. Don loves it. He keeps talking to Collette about her portrait AND tonight as we were eating (with all the pups staring at us ...) he exclaimed: 'Look she has her tongue out just like her portrait!' He asked me where I wanted to put it and I said right there in the living room. He thinks it is a family room picture to look at all the time!"
