Hi Nick,
I got the paintings just a couple of days ago!! They look amazing, even better in person, truly. They came together so there was no problems in shipping and I hung them as soon as I got them. It was nice that the edges were painted as well so I have the option of whether to frame them or not and right now they sit on a wood wall which shows them very nicely. Thank you so much, they are truly a treasure!

Hi Nick,
The portrait has arrived safe and well. Its as beautiful as I expected. Thanks for all your help, and hope you have a great Christmas. Chris.

Hi Nick,
Thats brilliant, thanks. Katharine

Hi Nick..........fantastic oil painting of my horse William, it takes pride of place on our sitting room wall and which i still think is superb! Every now and again I go back to your website just to have a look at other portraits you both have done!......

Hi Nick.....I'm really impressed with the final scan. Many Thanks for your time Nick, and I hope to speak to you soon..Gordon

Hi Nick,
Fantastic picture - you definitely have caught them both to a tee. I'm sure the painting will take pride of place...Tina

Just to let you now that the picture arrived safely today. I have to say that it looks even better in "real life" and I was tempted to keep it for myself! Maybe in the future I will commission another for me - you never know. Incidentally I run the website for our local riding club - approx 200 members and a few more visitors to the website so I wondered if you would like me to put a link to your website on mine, just let me know. Thanks again Tina

Lucy absolutely loved it and couldn't believe the detailed that was achieved and just how much you had captured flynns very unique character. Lucy's family were even so impressed that they are considering getting a study of there dogs

thanks again Mark Seymour.

Hi Nick,
I think the portrait is perfect!! You both are so talented and its amazing what you can do. I am so pleased, I am glad I chose you to do my portrait after hunting on the internet and I think putting a blog on your website is a very good way of attracting people, certainly got my vote!! You will be highly recommend down my neck of the woods!! Thanks again Claire xx

Dear Nick,
Willow's portrait arrived this morning! Finding any word to describe how pleased I am with it is difficult. Stunned, is perhaps most apt. As one who still prefers film photography over most digital because, in my opinion, it captures far more depth, I usually prefer photos over portraits for the same reason. In this case, however, I am completely awed by the life-like complexity of Nick's work. Perhaps the best compliment I can pay is to immediately commission another portrait, this time of Tony's horse Frosty. Please get back to me to discuss details of such. Many thanks for a job well done. Bravo!

I love the portrait. I'm blown away everytime I look at it and see how well Nic caught the mares likeness, from her alert eye, down to the grey in her muzzle. What a gift he possesses.

Hi Nick, Yes the final scan is here and it is big enough to use in the magazine. It looks fabulous and we are sure Bianca will be delighted. Best regards Netta
-----------------------
.....Bianca is going to write to you to say thank you but in the mean time her mother told me that, "they were astounded at the likeness it is spot on and it made Bianca cry. They are amazed that even the way he wrinkled his nose is just right.

Hi Nick, Got the picture of Mac today and did the grand unveiling at work! It really is perfect-even better than the digital picture you sent so I'm really,really,really pleased! The girls at work were completely bowled over by it too. Anyhow, it really is a stunning reminder of MacAulay and I can't thank you enough!! Good luck with all your Christmas work and we'll maybe be in touch again soon - my parents would love a picture of their collie..........!!! Joan x
--------------------------------------------
Hi Nick, I was really pleased with the colour of the frame and how it complemented the picture of Mac. Please do use the photos however you want to on the website!
I'm going home to my parents and I'm hoping to find or get my sister to take a good photo of our family collie so will hopefully be in touch in 2009!
Have a lovely christmas and new year! Joan

Hi there Given the current weather and time of year I think this is as good as I'm going to get. Was really frustrating as even with roon lights on and curtains fully open the flash keeps coming on!!!
Anyhow, I hope you can see how great it looks. I just love walking into my living room and seeing him. He's like the laughing cavalier - wherever you are in the room it's like he's looking at you (a very accurate reflection on him!!!) Joan
