Ever since I saw onesonnyday 5 years ago, I knew I’d had to have Col paint my future child’s portrait.. I finally had a baby and had Col paint him for his first birthday. I am thrilled with the result; funnily enough the portrait looks like a colourised childhood photo of my late great-grandfather!

You have no idea how much we love and appreciate you!

Col, I am absolutely blown away at how amazingly beautiful Hannah’s portrait is! You have done an incredible job of capturing her spirit, thank you so much xx

Thankyou so much for creating such beautiful pieces for us x

Today is Luna�s second heavenly birthday and I just wanted to say again how much it means to us having her beautiful portrait here. It seems surreal that two years have passed since our girl arrived and so quickly had to go. Some days I still feel overwhelmed with sadness. I personally don�t believe that it �gets easier� as some people would say, but life definitely grows bigger around our grief that once took over everything. Last year you sent me a picture of her portrait with a little rainbow shining over it. Our rainbow today is shining right here in my arms. And on Luna�s birthday we chose to celebrate her life with lots of love and joy, which is what she represents to me. Forever our first born and the big sister. Here�s us and our two beautiful daughters. Love, Juliana x�

Thanks Col! We love our painting so much! You have captured Daisy’s features and personality so beautifully- we will definitely be back for another portrait in the future!

My granddaughters portrait is just magnificent, it brought tears to my eyes. You have perfectly captured her whole being. Her eyes are just glistening and that big beaming smile melts my heart. I love your chosen shade of colours too. My daughter is just going to absolutely treasure this gift. Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou. Colleen, you are truly gifted. I look forward to later in the year, when our 2nd grandaughter will also be brought to life with your portrait magic.

Hi Col,
Firstly, Thankyou ♥️ x

You have a very special Gift, a talent that is beyond words.

To give you some history/context, I was 22, Bailey was born and we had absolutely no idea what was happening. That moment when you witness your first born child enter this world is meant to be an unforgettable experience, for me it certainly was that!

I remember it like yesterday, I shared the most amazing 17 days with him, he was never alone, he was always held by one of us to comfort him and help settle him, I was there for him during his last breaths!

He was born with a condition called Trisomy 13, or Patau Syndrome, which in itself is amazing he was born alive at all as it is one of 2 syndromes that are not compatible with life.

He really did live a very short life but also very painful one in more ways than one.

I do only have the one photo of him after I left my Ex Wife, and to be honest it pains me to look at it as I can see and recall the trauma he went through, Doctors and Students were all wanting to see him and try and open his eyes etc. they bruised him so bad from day one that any and every photo shows this. (Hence why I have never shown anyone a picture of him)

You have absolutely nailed this, you have looked beyond the bruising and pain and made him look content, settled and at peace (where he is a now)….my god Thank you!!

When your email came through this afternoon, I had tears In my eyes this when I got to see the finished piece, despite his lip, he is my other 2 sons when they were born!

I will hang this Masterpiece very proudly in my home (Thanks to your special Talent and gift)
I absolutely LOVE what you have done, I couldn’t be happier and 100% you have my approval to finalise and send, I can’t wait to see it in person

24/03/2023 ~ 2 years ago, our beautiful boy silently entered the world. Your perfect nose and tiny hands I held so dear, our precious little miracle. 2 years I have missed you but know you are always close to us from your shining star to the dragonflies in our garden. Until we meet again my baby, we love you. Col, You have captured my little boy so perfectly and beautifully. Our family cannot thank you enough for his special portrait.

I wanted to get a memorable and perfect gift for my partner. The beautiful Col captured our daughter perfectly and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Col was so lovely to work with and I wish I could get one of these portraits every year. They are so beautiful. ❤️
