TESTIMONIALS

"Sadie's work is extraordinary. She can create minutely detailed, beautiful depictions of anything in the smallest of spaces. Her work draws you in from a distance with its sheer size. As you get closer to the work you no longer see the fine detail, but instead are absorbed in the tiny brushstrokes that give her pieces that impressionistic flair. I am consistently and utterly enthralled by her ability to harness watercolor in astonishingly miniscule detail. I've commissioned a number of works from Sweet Pea Paintings Co and each one becomes my next favorite! Recently, she painted a trio of my favorite birds (Great Blue Heron, Roseate Spoonbill Crane, and Kingfisher) who frequent a marshy nature preserve where I like to take leisurely strolls. Every time I look at the birds she's painted for me I am transported to one of my favorite places where I find joy in the sunshine and some of the earth's most beautiful animals. I believe Sadie will become an artist recognized worldwide."

"I recently had the pleasure of commissioning two miniature paintings from Sadie at Sweet Pea, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, working with Sadie was an absolute breeze. She was incredibly responsive and professional, making the process smooth and enjoyable.
The paintings themselves are nothing short of stunning. The level of detail and craftsmanship in each piece is truly remarkable. Sadie's talent shines through in every brushstroke, capturing the essence and beauty of the subjects perfectly.
I highly recommend Sadie at Sweet Pea for anyone looking for exquisite, detailed artwork and a seamless, pleasant business experience. Her dedication to her craft and her clients is evident, and the results speak for themselves."

"Oh my goodness, how can I ever express how much the painting Sadie did of my late, best fur-riend K.C. meant to me. It brought me to tears. K.C. was my "soul-dog" who passed away unexpectedly in 2015. I still feel her spirit with me every single day, and Sadie's painting represented a perfect likeness to my K.C."

Krystyn, NC

"Commissioned a painting for my sister of our mother holding my nephew. Our mother passed away in 2007, so she was never able to meet him. This meant the world to my sister and Sadie captured them both perfectly! I would highly recommend her if you have any need for a meaningful, professional piece of artwork. She is extremely talented and can do anything! Thank you so much Sadie! You created something very special!"

I wanted to make a gift for someone very dear to me, a personalized gift with lots of love. Then it occurred to me that the portrait of a beloved pet would be perfect! That's where Sadie comes in. From start to finish she was always present in all the details, her work, and the piece delivered very quickly. It was more than perfect and you can tell it was made with so much love. In short, the perfect gift!!
Thank you!!

"I'm fortunate enough to own a few pieces from Sweet Pea Paintings Co., but my miniature watercolor of my beloved first dog is my favorite. Every time I stop to appreciate it I am astounded by not only the detail of the painting, but by how uncannily she captured my dog's essence. Having this piece in my home is a complete joy and it's wonderful to have my dog's precious memory immortalized in such a beautiful artistic creation. The detail is not lost whatsoever even in such a small portrait, and miniatures are the perfect size to display on a shelf or any where in your home! Not to mention, it allows you the space to get more of Sadie Pennell's work."

"My Mother-in-law loves blueberry pancakes, so this miniature watercolor was the ideal gift for her! The pancakes are so lifelike, and the blueberries stand out with their lovely blue color. Sadie displayed it in the perfect frame. My mother-in-law loves it! I give Sadie my highest recommendation."

Michelle, CO

"I just added two works of art from a fab miniature artist, Sadie Pennell of Sweet Pea Paintings Co! I absolutely fell in love with her work. Each of her pieces is no bigger than a quarter and the detail is simply amazing."

"A couple of years ago, I received a pet portrait done by Sadie, it captured my dog Boomer’s features perfectly! Especially now that he is no longer with us, I will cherish this painting for the rest of time! I loved it so much that I recently reached out to her to paint my mom’s guardian angel dog and new dog. She did a great job paying attention to detail and really bringing out the unique features for each dog! I cannot wait to give these to my mom at Christmas!!! Thank you Sadie!!"
