"I was so excited, not to mention overwhelmed when the portrait of Red arrived. Never ever in any of my expectations, did I expect the quality of the painting - you managed to capture him just as he is. I was so impressed I took it round all my family and everybody who has seen it thinks it is so like him - amazing! I especially love his eyes - it is like looking into real eyes - clever you. So thank you again for your amazing work.

You were so easy to talk to, and a big thank you for fitting Red in before Xmas, but he is SO GOOD even if it had been April he would have been worth the wait. Thank you once again - I would recommend your amazing talent to anyone.

PS. It was also so exciting following the portrait on line as it developed!" Mrs M Walker, Peebles.
