Commissioned by Tony Bailey for fiancé Kim Tutt.
Customer Comments:
Sadly Ice died on 18/4/2008, at 29 years old, after Kim owning her for
almost 21 of those years. Throughout Ice's life it became apparent to
everyone who came to know her, including her vet Mr Eryl Davies, that Ice would not be forced. She was particularly intelligent and strong willed, who, if not asked politely would choose to fight.
This strong character which you have so remarkably captured in the painting, served Ice well in the fact that she defied the odds a number of times, and in the end, she died how she had lived, with dignity, choosing to do it HER WAY. Therefore, when the painting is framed, I will include the title:
ICE MAIDEN, HER WAY
She was loved and adored and is very sadly missed.
Fortunately, we have Ice's son, Arctic Storm, who definitely has her
fighting spirit, as a constant reminder of her strong, willful character.
We also have your wonderful painting, which is so lifelike and totally
captures Ice's spirit.
I would like to say thank you so much, I am delighted with it and will
definitely be asking if you will paint her son, Storm, in the future. Also a big thank you to my fiancé Tony, who found and chose you to paint Ice, despite the fact that there were no paintings of horses
displayed on your website.
Thank you, Thank you Thank you
Kim Tutt and Tony Bailey.
Reply after receiving painting:
We received the finished painting of Ice Maiden this morning, And I must say we are amazed how it looks like she is in the room with us when we stand back, It is like having her back with us.
I'm not sure how you have done it but it is excellent ,Did you paint it by hand?.
We are both so pleased with it we cried , It is so life like.
I will definitely have you do our other animals from now on , And recommend you to everyone that we know or meet.
Thank you for all your help getting the painting done , I can't thank you enough.
Thanks again,
