"When I opened my last birthday present at a family gathering this summer, I was absolutely stunned to see such an incredible portrait of my dog McClary! Not only did Todd capture McClary's spirit, he also perfectly textured his soft, wispy, spotted coat. It's almost unbelievable that Todd has never seen McClary in person, and only had a photograph to work from, because the piece really captures the true essence of who McClary is to me. To find out only minutes later that Todd Belcher was the artist, was the second part in this huge surprise. The gift was given to me by my boyfriend's parents, and they discovered Todd, not knowing that we are friends who haven't seen each other in many years! Synchronicity always adds an amazing depth to a situation, and this was no exception. My boyfriend and I (and many others) will enjoy McClary's portrait forever! Thank you Todd, for your artistic talent, and ability to 'tap into' the spirit of our loving pets!"
