\u201cIn times of unease, the importance of friends, family and pets cannot be underestimated,\u201d says Millie Midgley, an exhibitor for the Royal Society of Portrait Painters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would make the perfect gift to raise someone\u2019s spirits at this current time or as a treat for yourself to brighten up your home.\u201d<\/p>\n
