“I picked the ‘paintings’ up from the framers this weekend. Ally was absolutely speechless when he saw them – he couldn’t believe how you managed to capture the girls' personalities…We are all so thrilled with them, and the girls are dead chuffed to see themselves hanging on the wall! Thank you so much Lucy for doing a wonderful job, worth every penny and I shall be recommending you to everyone I know…It would almost be worth having more children, but then again…”
T. Morrison, Twickenham
“I am overwhelmed by the quality of the work…It is my horse – not just the lines that make up her shape but also her look and her personality. In summary, I am feeling pretty jolly smug that I commissioned you and am thrilled with the end product. You are very talented.”
D. Hogg
“I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful paintings of ‘Lassie’. You have managed to see her as I saw her, and what is more, capture it on paper – and that is really clever! I keep rushing in just to have another look, and each time it is brilliant.”
J, Tucker, Loxwood
“He is so lifelike that I talk to him as if he were there and the amazing thing about the portrait is that the nearer I put my face to his, the more ‘alive’ he becomes. It is quite extraordinary! As I said to you when I first saw the portrait, ‘You have given me back my Oliver’.”
J. Hinton East, Winchcombe
"So finally all the children have been home and had a chance to see your wonderful portraits…and I wish you could have been here to witness their appreciation and admiration. They are fabulous. We love them! You are so clever, talented, fun and so relaxing! I just wanted to say a big thank you from us all.”
J. Russell, Henley on Thames.
“You say the portrait reveals as much about the artist as the sitter. Well, it does. All your warmth and sympathy comes through in the picture and we will always love it and look at it. I so enjoyed every stage of the preparation - I’ve never been involved in anything like that before - and getting to know you in the process”.
Anna
“What can I say? I am almost speechless - the portrait is absolutely amazing. We are all totally thrilled with it and I have to admit I did have a “moist” moment when I saw it because you have captured Amber beautifully. This is even more amazing considering how wriggly she was throughout our session. You are a truly talented lady and I hope you are receiving back as much as you are giving to others through your work.”
Jan
“I just wanted to thank you for the portraits you did of my children. You really have the most incredible talent and I wonder if you realise how much pleasure you give with your art? We look at them every day and we both absolutely love them. They are so perfect and feel almost life like - it’s quite amazing....the portraits are just beautiful and capture a moment in our lives that won’t come back. I know I thanked you at the time but months move on and I appreciate them more every day. I feel incredibly lucky to have them.”
Candida.
“That is incredible. I am almost speechless because you have completely captured him. It is how he holds himself and how he is. It Art through and through”.
