Linda Foote is a remarkable women and I feel as if I have known her all my life and yet I have only ever had contact with her through e-mail. Linda has a talent that I am not sure where on earth one gets one from, I'm sure this talent is only given out to very speacial people. 10 months ago my beautiful little Sister Roxanne, Nephew Luke & Niece Grace were taken from this world unexpectedly and unfortuneately we never ever got a photo of the three of them together. Life is taken for granted sometimes and you never ever think something like this would ever happen to you and always think there is plenty of time to capture that special moment on camera, but we never did. You don't ever realise what you don't have until it's too late. Therefore I had an idea one day and thought to myself, I wander if I had three separate photo's could any one out there do anything to bring them together. I wanted this so much to give as a gift to my wonderful Mother who misses her youngest daughter and only grandchildren very much. I went searching on the web one day and found Linda's web site and e-mailed her asking if it could be done, she promptly replied "Yes" and it went from there.
When I received the portrait I couldn't believe it, the detail and likeness was perfect and so life like, my eyes filled with tears. Their eyes are so real and Roxanne's smile and Luke & Grace's little mouths are just perfect. Little Grace would always have that pout with her lips happening and that funny little blank stare, she's a funny little girl and Luke such a happy go lucky little man.
My Sister Roxanne would always have a smile on her face, even when things were bad she always managed to smile, everyone I speak to always mentions Roxanne's beautiful smile as being one prominent thing in their memories of her. To think I sent Linda three separate photo's and she has brought my precious family together like this, the way I want to remember them, smiles and together. Linda has given me such a treasure and I will always remember Linda for what she has done and be forever greatful to her. I would highly recommend her work to anyone out there who is thinking of having a drawing done.
I miss my loved ones so very much and it is so comforting seeing them together like this.
Thank you Linda.
Sincerely greateful,

Linda's web site contains examples of many exceptional and insightful portraits, so it was easy to say to myself that I would cherish such a work of my own.When the opportunity came, I contacted Linda and asked if she would view my favorite photo and do the portrait. She agreed to do the work, gave me a fair price, and I did not hesitate to send her the money on faith. She has not disappointed me with the results, and the personal integrity of this lady is a blessing and an example I appreciate. You can trust Linda to provide an heirloom, a special lifetime gift, and a memory saved in a creative way.
Thank you, Linda!
It is a personal honor to recommend your services.

" Linda Foote has given me more than a portrait- she has given me a treasure. It's truly remarkable how she was able to capture the eyes and the hands of my precious Granddaughters.
I told Linda that I can understand how someone could paint a vase of flowers, a cotton field, or a ship- but to paint a portrait requires a special talent. When I saw my treasure for the first time, I knew that Linda Foote had this talent. She is a very gifted lady.
I highly recommend her- you're in for a treat !! "
