Hi Jeannie,
Just to say that the painting arrived safely yesterday and I am absolutely delighted
with it.I'm decorating a small sitting room for my personal use (a touch of Virginia Woolf's
room of my own !) and I want to put some real paintings in there, rather
than prints.When I saw the article in the Sunday Times about online art I thought I
would take a look.I love everything about the painting, even the frame is just right for
the picture. Many thanks again, I'm sure I will have many hours of pleasure looking at
it.

Hi,
I just wanted to tell you that I commissioned Trevor Whild to do a
further painting for me and it is simply stunning!His way with light is magical and I
can't speak highly enough of his work and his extreme professionalism. Kind regards, Olivia Coles(commissioned painting
by Trevor Whild )I am very pleased to say that Incoming Tide was an enormous success
and I gained many brownie points.The picture is a great joy for both of us and
hangs in a very prominent position in our Living Room to rather the room we live
in!The packaging was brilliant and well survived the temporary housing with two small children and a
Rottweiler Puppy!I managed to get it home and under the bed without being noticed and Birthday
Morning was most enjoyable.Many thanks for brightening up our livesJohn (Incoming Tide by Janette Boskett )I

Dear Amanda,
'Purple Sunset' has arrived this morning and I have to say it is beautiful!
It evokes feelings of calmness and serenity, we really love it. My partner and I are very fond
of the sea and often daydream about leaving London and living on the coast. Like everyone,
w e have very busy working lives, and occassionally escape to the coast for weekends away. So the picture
stirs up those feelings of peace and relaxation. We really enjoy the 'Summer Flowers', they're light
and fun, the colours are perfect- very spring and summer. So thank you Amanda, your pictures are
very much appreciated and they will give us so much pleasure. Warm wishes, Vanessa(Amanda Hunt)We commisioned
Janette Boskett to do a painting that would celebrate our marriage and our wedding anniversaries. She
was very patient with our lack of specific guidance. The result was the extraordinary piece, titled
"Grinkleshelf" which far exceeded our expectations. We never considered commisioning a work of art before but
Janette made it a simple and very rewarding process. We have just purchased her recent work
"Size Zero" and will collect it later in the year on our wedding anniversary at her
sublime guest house, Grinkle Lodge. Graeme and Anne.(Janette Boskett)Hi DianeJohn loved the picture it's hanging in
the sitting room were he can see it most of the time. Many thanks for the
beautiful paintingKind regards.

Hi Mike,
It arrived this morning- hows that for service. : )R M must be picking up...Just
as I imagined it looks absolutely stunning! The cyclamen just seems to drift and float across
the background, and having had in mind to purchase this for so long nowits an excellent
new years present to myself. I was going to hang it in living room, but for
a while at least its going to be here beside my PC in the conservatory so
I can drool over it.Its easy in this digital age to think anyone can take a
decent photo, but this work shows just what a difference a true professional can make. Great
work.

Hi Ros,
Zij zijn veilig aangekomen,Thought you might appreciate the announcement in Afrikaans that the pictures
have arrived safely (Seems apt somehow !). They certainly look superb and once up on the wall,
they will be a major centrepiece to the room. As soon as we get them up on
the wall, I'll send a couple of photos, so you can see your "babies" in situ.
Thanks again.

Ros,
I just wanted to tell you that finallyI gave Peter the Towards Tomorrow painting today,
since it is our 10 th wedding anniversary“ he was absolutely thrilled with it, and
I am so relieved because art's really not his thing! He was really touched about the
message behind it“ I printed off your lovely description of the painting in a letter
(attached) which I left with the painting on his desk this morning JThe thing I am
most excited about is how it looks in situ“ I put it above the fireplace
in the downstairs TV room (where Saas Fee had been) and the colours are absolutely stunningin
place. It's exactlywhat that room needed! And funnily enough I have brought Saas Fee upstairs to
the main lounge, where the light is much brighter, and it looks SO much better up
here“ I can't believe it.
You can really see into the painting in the light,
in a way that you couldn't really when it was downstairs.So, in summary, I'm really excited
about my lovely paintings, and can't thank you enough!! Now, about Crashing Waves“ I have
thought long and hard about it (where to put it, what it will look like with
the colour scheme etc) and have decided that yes, I do want it. I'm planning to
put it in the same room as Saas Fee“ I know the colours are quite
different, but I think it will look great. Can't wait.By the way, I know you're preparing
for some exhibitions soon“ let me know when you stick new paintings on to the
website, because undoubtedly I'll be interested in some of them (my house will be like a
mini-Ros Gallery!).

John,
The portrait is stunning.....it's just like Mum & Dad.....and is a great comfort to
Dad after Mum's passing. He blows her a kiss and wishes her "Night, Night darling" every
night before he goes to bed. It has helped to make what is a very difficult
time of adjustment for him, just that little bit easier for him...and for that I'll be
eternally grateful. Your talent is amazing and I definitely will be commissioning you again Ros x x

I'm very pleased to say the paintings arrived safely and in time for Christmas. My partner
and I love both paintings and are happily re-arranging our flat to make sure each is
positioned in what we consider to be the right way to show them off best! My
favourite is 'Last Days of Summer', I love the way the light plays on it. I've
even taken a picture of it on my phone and have it as my wallpaper so
I can show my friends who haven't had the chance to see it 'in the flesh'
yet (I hope that's ok and isn't against any copyright rules)! "Monsoon" (by Andrea Farmer) was
a present for my partner and as I said he loves it. Thank you so much.
I shall look forward to seeing more of your work on your website.

a local scene and done by a local artist, many thanks . The orange colour makes
it vibrant and dynamic. My expectations from seeing it on the internet and seeing the actual
