“I am writing to thank you very much for your professional and charming manner during the ‘sitting’. I must confess to being slightly apprehensive beforehand but this soon faded with your skilful manner in drawing out your subject. You will be pleased to know that the painting has met with approval - the overall view of my colleagues is that the animal has been appropriately captured on canvas!”

I love the picture. You have a real talent for not merely getting the look of your subjects but also their character in your pictures. Thanks again for a great piece of work.”

Mr. C. Morrow

 

“I want to say what a great pleasure that lovely painting, “Spirit of Chichester” has given us and we all enjoy it. I look at it whenever I go into the boardroom, which is frequently. In my view it is everything a painting should be - beautiful, colourful and interesting - and it tells so many different stories. I think it is quite unique in that respect.

Mr Jack Bartholomew
