AND…WHAT THEY SAID:
Here are a couple of endorsements from some of my clients.
“Ian, on this day of giving thanks, I wanted to let you know how grateful I am that you decided to do the painting of our 2 cairn terriers, Kenzie and Maggie. We lost Kenzie in July of this year, and not a day goes by that I don’t think of her, as so well represented in your work. I know you were reluctant to do the 2 pups, but your willingness to do it is an everlasting gift to us. Thank you so much. - Patty K.
“It was a pleasure staging my listing at 24 Harding Street in Belmont. This was a reaction from one of the sellers seeing the staging end result and Belmont artist Ian Todreas’ art pieces adorning the walls: I went upstairs and saw Ian’s artwork. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The house looks so good…It looks really awesome!” - Adriana P.
“Your work brought tears to my wife’s eyes. And it’s two “subjects” were watching with awe as well! Thank you so much…” - Patty K.
“I had messaged Ian Todreas, Updog Gallery, an inquiry to commission a portrait of our aging White Miniature Schnauzer, Henry. Ian had never met or seen our dog, yet, somehow through a few random emailed pictures, he perfectly captured Henry’s expression! We find ourselves staring at these watercolors with amazement! Through his creativity, delicately meticulous brush strokes and some innate sense, Ian seemed to also capture Henry’s soul!!! Ian, I am forever grateful for you taking on this challenge of painting a white dog so creatively and beautifully! These paintings will forever be cherished.” - Chuck M.
“I am thrilled to own one of Ian’s beautiful paintings! Ian’s artistic touch truly captured our special pup. We absolutely love his work!” - Ted H.
“My wife and I hired Ian to paint several watercolors for our living room, as well as my office. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome! Ian was a joy to work with, and we recommend him 100%!” - Eric S.
“I had a wonderful experience with Ian! He perfectly captured the landscape that I love, upstate Vermont. I highly recommend him and will return as a customer in the future. He has an amazing ability to portray the spirit of his paintings’ subjects.” - Colby R.
“Ian is amazing! I received one of Ian's custom paintings of my sweet puppy as a gift and it could not be more beautiful! It was a wonderful surprise (especially in the time of quarantine) and is bringing us endless smiles! He captured our pups personality and it is a keepsake we can cherish! Highly recommend treating yourself or someone you love to a similar piece!” - Taylor W.
“I am lucky enough to own a Todreas painting and it warms my heart each time I look at it. I love art, beauty, and creativity and his paintings are so thoughtful. Ian's artwork always gets glowing reviews from friends when they visit. Do yourself a favor and buy one. You deserve it! And get to know Ian. He's a wonderful person!” - Anne M.
“We are blown away by your watercolors…Thank you for the adorable portrait of Ellie. You really captured her essence…” - Megan H.
