[Housewarming Gift]
[Framed Giclee Canvas Print "Epsom Downs at Sunset, with Glimpses of London"]
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the great service and for the lovely artwork. Alison was delighted with her gift - she has just moved to Ireland from Epsom, and it is a housewarming present. I am very much hoping that I will get to visit and see it in person one day! The lovely cards were a super bonus, and the certificate of authenticity and invoice were all received safely. Thank you once again for the wonderful service.

[Birthday Gift]
[Framed Open Print "Mudeford Quay and The Black House"]
Just to advise you that the print arrived yesterday as you promised, and I have just unpacked it. My goodness, the packing is 10 out of 10. I am thrilled with the print. From start to finish I have been so pleased with the customer care, purchased product and after sales attention. This picture is a 50th birthday gift for my nephew who was brought up in Christchurch but now lives in Singapore. He is re-visiting the area in July so I thought this would be a very apt gift. Thank you so much; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to future potential purchasers.

[Framed Giclėe Canvas Print 'Flight Over the Serengeti']
I had to email you to say how thrilled I am to have purchased a print of your beautiful painting. Your series of paintings caught the eye of my mother and I as soon as we saw it - the movement in the painting is wonderful, you can feel the flight in the birds and I just had to buy it. If I wasn’t having to go back to Australia I would have bought the series!!!! Thank you again and please know that your painting will be very much enjoyed by myself and my partner and all who visit our house in Bairnsdale, East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.

[Giclée Canvas Print ‘View of Dorking from Box Hill’]
I’m sure Ian will be delighted with it, it is such a beautiful painting and as I said previously, he walks up (and down) Box Hill quite a few times a week and lives in Dorking. As he’s moving to Somerset it is perfect for him to remember the area

All I can say is “Wow! Wow” Wow!” I absolutely love the painting and I know Darren will adore it. I thank you so much for creating such an amazing picture of our beautiful babies. I can't wait to give Darren the painting on Christmas Day. I know he will be blown away. You are a very talented lady. The cards and certificate, all the added bits, I just can't thank you enough. I'm sure you will be hearing from me again. I just love your artwork. On 06/01/2016, Jody wrote:I wanted to tell you how much Darren adored it but thought I'd wait until he told you himself first.

Thank you again for Barney’s painting. We couldn’t be more pleased. It is absolutely wonderful. I don't know how you do it but it is so lifelike. It’s stunning. I would say to anyone who was thinking of commissioning you to do a painting “Don't hesitate”. Your work is absolutely amazing.
13/12/2014 Fiona, London
I am very pleased with your artwork, thank you, and my aged old mum will absolutely love it. Thanks also for the enclosed ‘freebie’ cards and personalised handling of my order.

I've just received the wonderful print, it's beautiful and I'm so happy with it. I can't wait to give it to my mum-in-law in a couple of weeks when we will be going down to celebrate her 70th birthday. I'll take a walk over to the Square and Compass and enjoy the real view too! I think I'm going to have to order one for myself, but that'll have to wait. Thank you very much for the greeting cards, a lovely surprise. Thank you so much for all your help and efficient service - it's been a real pleasure!

[Original watercolour paintings "Bembridge Marina, Isle of Wight" and
"Horses Drinking in the River Mole"]
Just to let you know I received my two paintings this morning: “Horses Drinking in the River Mole” and “Bembridge Marina, Isle of Wight”. They arrived safe & sound, very well packaged-up indeed. I admit there's always a bit of a concern buying valuable and fragile items like paintings over the internet but in your case I needn't have worried. I would have no doubts at all about buying from you again or about recommending you to other people. The mini-gallery website you use is very good too. As for the paintings themselves, I have to say they are both really lovely. The Bembridge painting is for me - I love the detail and bright colours in that one - whilst the horses drinking painting is a surprise for my friend's 30th birthday in September. I hope she likes it! I'm sure she will; it was her who put me onto your galleries on the mini-gallery website initially, and also highlighted that painting as one of those she particularly liked. P.S Thank you for the greetings cards! Totally unexpected and a very nice touch.
22/05/2012 Rachel, Somerset
Thank you for the speedy delivery of the painting which I love. I also received the complimentary cards which were a nice surprise. Thank you.

Many thanks for the prompt delivery of the print. What a very thought provoking subject and one very rarely touched on; that’s why it appealed to me.
26/11/2011 Rhian, Derbyshire
Thank you so much for the print, it has brought a tear to my eye and I know for sure it will my Mum. It is beautiful. Thank you also for the note cards. I am going to frame one for each of my siblings and myself so we all have a mini version too! Many thanks again.
31/08/2011 Louise, Blackpool, Lancashire
I have received my print safely and I’m delighted with it and the cards also. I would be very interested in any other seaside scenes you do. You are a very talented lady and I would love to be able to paint like this.

[Original watercolour paintings: ‘Glimpses of the Priory from Church Street, Christchurch’, ‘Mudeford Quay and Dinghy Park’ and ‘Mudeford Quay and The Black House’]
Your paintings have been so much admired by the people I have shown them to. No one can believe the detail, particularly in the Christchurch scene. To say I am absolutely thrilled with the paintings is a complete under statement. Each time I look at them I just feel that I am there, which is just the feeling I wanted to get from them.
17/03/2010 Jenny, Berkshire
Just wanted to say the print is just as good as I thought it would be. Also thanks for the extra cards, a really nice touch. It has been a pleasure dealing with you.

Many thanks - we received the parcel containing 'Tango for Two' today and all in perfect condition. Thank you for the greeting cards, too, they are lovely!
04/12/2007 Andrew, Suffolk
Apology not necessary for overlooking the hanging cord and more than compensated for by the arrival today of a very nice Watercolour in an impressive wooden box, and the hanging kit by separate post! Thanks also for the 'little extra'.
