"The painting ['Winter Sunrise II' by Seonaid Clarke] arrived just before the weekend and is great. (My daughter wants to keep it and buy a different one for my aunties!) Like 'Machair Dunes II' it changes in the light. We live next to the sea and it's nice to look at a peaceful seascape - not much like we've experienced recently."
Ann West, Prestwick, Ayrshire 07/12/2006

Carol 16/11/2006
"The painting ['Hope Nobody Knows' by Victoria Stanway] arrived today and is even better than it looked on the website. Now that I can get a close look at it it's easier to appreciate the intricacy of the painting and I was particularly struck by the way your eye moves up through the all the houses and streets and ways and then at the top you have the contrast of the unadorned field and sky."
Barry Fogarty 10/11/2006

Nancy McAllister 31/10/2006
"Guess what? Yes I love it! I have hung it ['Gardini Wall' by Jo Sheppard] in the same room as 'Wall with Graffiti 2', but at the opposite end; I think they really complement each other. One of the things I really like about your work is the texture you get into your paintings, so if I like an image on the website I know it's going to look even better on my wall! Thanks again, will have to buy a bigger house if I spot any more I want!"
Sarah Moynihan 25/10/2006
"Giles Illsley did an amazing portrait of my German Shepherd, Kyra. He was very responsive to my email request, and despite being in an entirely different country I had the portrait in about two weeks. Somehow he brings his subjects to life on paper, and I highly recommend his work and his professionalism. Thank you, Giles!"

Paul Sylvester 05/10/2006 ['Chocolate Sunset' and 'St Michaels Mount' by Shirley McIntyre]
"The paintings arrived today ['Rose' and 'Eternity' by Katy Bason-Healey], and I can't take my eyes off them! It feels like the walls of my apartment were built to display them so thanks so much for bringing such happiness to an Irish gal!

Leona 30/09/2006

"Thanks for the painting - I love it!" ['Young Female with Pink Robe' by Judith Webb]
Pauline Wilson 27/09/2006
"The first piece of art by John Morris that I purchased was 'Satsuma'. This was in 2005. I chose this piece of art because I liked the colours: blue, green orange. Upon receiving this first piece of art I was in awe. 'How does he make this satsuma float above the surface?". Over a year later, with much inspection and admiration, I still can't work it out. As a result, I've purchased two new pieces which have recently arrived. 'Pears'. That is going to take some months of looking at before I can even begin to look at 'Still Life with Citrus Fruits'. Thank you, John, you art is adored up close from afar. The hard question now - which piece of beauty shall I choose next?"
Charles, Darwin, Australia 25/09/2006
"I received the print of 'Ely Cathedral' [by Barbara Harlow] this morning, it's lovely, thanks very much. It's actually a Christmas present for my father for whom Ely Cathedral is a special place and I'm sure he'll be delighted. This was my first 'on-line' art purchase so I'm delighted it all turned out well!"
Claire 21/09/2006
"We got the painting today ['Mickleden' by Susan Shaw], and when I came home tonight and opened it I was THRILLED TO BITS! It's beautiful, and I love it! I will so enjoy having it to look at every day, and I hope you enjoy thinking that somewhere in the great Pacific Northwest is a couple of Brits (well, one Brit and one honorary one) who will look at a painting you made and remember the best parts of England!"
Linda Hedges, Oregon, USA 21/09/2006
"To me, this depicts the struggle of an innocent woman migrating to the city for better opportunities; and her realisation that within the depths of the bright lights there lies a darker side. This is a fantastic picture which reminds me of my own experiences."
Peter 20/09/2006 ['Girl on Street' by Roni Sarraf]

"I own and show 2 Siamese cats which I love beyond most other things in this world, and can never find art that fits my taste. I very much like the hilarious depiction of them in the cartoons also the sharp style of the drawing. The 'life' paintings are superb! I want to purchase an awful lot more of your work for my bare walls if my budget allows! I will make a point of telling my Siamese friends about you! "

"Just to let you know 'Daybreak' [by Stella Dunkley] arrived safely today. I must admit I was a little unsure about buying a painting without seeing it first, but I am not disappointed. I think you have captured the light and sense of space of a dawn sky perfectly, and the picture certainly brightens up the whole room. I would certainly recommend you to others - both your work and your service."
Mike, Hampshire 02/9/2006
"Tonight I was watching my two Italian greyhounds and three cats play and I was struck by what an amazing job you do capturing their expressions. I see them in so many of your pieces. I am so impressed with your work and am thankful that I have had the opportunity to work with you."

Sian Hansell 11/08/2006
"My auntie commissioned another Machair Dunes for my 40th birthday; it arrived today via her van driver and looks fantastic - the depth of colour in particular makes it a very prominent piece.
Our house is 200 yards from the sea and it captures the essence of the play of light perfectly (and manages to pick up our woodwork almost perfectly).Thank you for a lovely painting."

Malcolm 06/08/2006 [painting by Sarah Brummell-Bailey]

Rebecca Douthwaite 03/07/2006
"The paintings ['Red and Blue' by Jo Sheppard] have arrived safely and are wonderful! Thank you very much. They are even better than I had thought and hoped for - you were right, the photograph didn't do them justice. I had to collect the package today as I was at work yesterday when it was delivered, and the wait nearly drove me daft! However, this was one occasion where the wait was most definitely worth it - I absolutely love the paintings and will treasure them always. The dining room (where they will hang) is being decorated right now, but I will take a photo and e-mail it to you as soon as it's finished, and the paintings are hanging. Thanks again, and also for the cards you kindly enclosed."

"The beautiful painting ['Tango on the Beach' by Ian Morris] arrived safe and sound and in perfect condition. I loved it when I saw it on Mini Gallery, but it is even more lovely in real life! The colours are so soft and clear. I am really delighted with it and am keeping my eye on the other two beach pictures you have available."
Anne 20/05/2006
"Collected safely yesterday evening and unwrapped last night ['A Pair' and 'Dawlish # 6' by Jo Sheppard]. I am so impressed - they're fantastic, many thanks.

Many thanks for getting them safely to me, I will enjoy them for many years and will keep an eye on your website."

"The print arrived safely last week and is now up in my bedroom ['Crimson Heart' by Seonaid Clarke]. I love it - as does my boyfriend (which I am surprised by given that it's floral!!!)
Thanks again. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me before too long as I rather like a few more of your items on the website.
Lynda, Bristol 09/05/2006

Matt and Emma 02/05/2006
"Bought 'Amazed II Golden Moments' from artist Tina Ashton could not be happier with the painting. Service great, received artwork the day after Tina had sent it with plenty of bubble wrap.
P.S. My daughter would like me to leave the painting in my will for her, but not for a long time hopefully..."
Edith McRorie 29/04/2006
"Just a short note to say the paintings ['New York' and 'Misty Morning in the Woodland' by Susan Shaw] turned up safely yesterday and they are quite beautiful, just as expected, thank you. I now see and understand what you mean by "texture effect" on the woodland scene and agree the result is amazingly atmospheric. I am very pleased too with New York, it captures the mood perfectly and as a frequent visitor I appreciate what it represents, by the way the mounts are perfect."
Tom Acheson 28/04/2006
"I have received it, thank you. It's absolutely perfect."
Melanie 26/04/2006 ['Ferryboat Hut, Walberswick'by Barbara Harlow]

Emma 26/04/2006
"I commissioned a special painting by Maggie Stannard, 'Memories of Lake Windermere', as a wedding gift for my friend. Maggie responded promptly by sending ideas to me, and incorporated my requirements into the finished painting beautifully, working within my budget. There was plenty of opportunity to make suggestions and view progress before the painting was finally varnished. Maggie also sent through proof of postage and the painting arrived exactly as expected today. I am now considering commissioning another painting for my own home as it will be a wrench handing this one over!"
Marianne, East Sussex 25/04/2006
"I got it this morning ['Father and Son 2' by Peter Williams] and it arrived safely and intact, wonderful piece of work which gives the appearance of looking so easy to do but as we know belies a lot of skill and application behind assured strokes. I think you are progressing tremendously well and appear to have found a re-vitalised, if I may say sense of freedom in your work. I collect, it's a failing but I have an eye and I know very good work when I see it and can appreciate it. It's a wonderful piece of work and I'm glad to own it."
Tony Broadbent 25/04/2006
"I purchased 'Night Life' [by Neil Dawson] yesterday and just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying it. The vibrancy of the image is amazing and the colours are so rich. New York and London are my two favourite cities and I think that you've capured them brilliantly. Thank you for brightening up my little corner of Walton-on-Thames!"
Suzanne Miller 24/04/2006

K Rose 22/04/2006 ['Viewing the Sea' by Michael Hughes]
"The painting ['Latvian Flag' by Elly Wood] was received on Saturday - thank you for sending it so promptly - I didn't expect to receive it so quickly but it was absolutely perfect timing as a present for my wife. Her grandmother was Latvian - we visited Riga and Liepaja two years ago to see where she grew up. The painting is a great reminder of the Latvian connection - my wife loves it!"
David Sharples 18/04/2006
"I recently purchased 3 works from Stella Dunkley and Carol Dunne ['Relaxing in Blue']. They are beautiful pieces. We have decorated a flat in London with a wave theme with lots of blues... we have an interior designer who stopped by yesterday and said he could not have selected any better paintings. The paintings arrived overnight express in perfect condition... thanks to Stella, Carol and the gallery."
Mike V. 18/04/2006
"I love the picture ['Polperro Evening Shadows' by Susan Shaw] it is just what I was looking for and I am very pleased with it! It looks even better than it did in the photograph online - the
neutral mounting looks great too. I am going to take it to get framed during the week and so hopefully it will be on my wall very soon! I will keep an eye on your online portfolio as I have a few more spaces on my walls that I want to fill over the next few years!"
Liz Mellett 16/04/2006
"The paintings ['Stonethwaite Morning' by Susan Shaw] were received on Tuesday and since my wife was delighted with them and was certain I would be too, we agreed she should take them to be framed straight away. They are now with the framing service and I will have the pleasure of seeing them in their full glory in about ten days time. Many thanks again and I promise to visit your Mini Gallery site again from time to time and hope we can do some further business in the future."

M. Venutolo, London 13/04/2006
"I am absolutely over the moon with the new artwork ['Bronzed II', 'Antique Rose' and 'Pearl Pink Rose' by Gaynor Henaghan], they look beautiful hung and are even better in the flesh than on the gallery. I know I will be buying more of your work in the very near future."

The painting is fantastic and will look great in its allocated spot in the lounge. The service and communication provided by Stella was fantastic and I cannot recommend both the site and Stella strongly enough! Thank you!"
Richard Hume, London 07/04/2006

Lynn Stone 05/04/2006
"We love your paintings ['The Wing is Flapping' and 'Vertigo' by Victoria Stanway] they look great on the wall. They are much nicer in real life than looking at them on the internet. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and I look forward to dealing with you in the future."
Leonard Howell 04/04/2006
"We recently purchased a triptych 'Bronzed Silk' from Julia Urquhart and couldn't be more thrilled with it. It looks truly stunning, better than we could have wished for. It's also exciting to own an original piece of art!"
Colin Randell 03/04/2006
"I recently contacted Peter Bolton about a painting of his on Mini Gallery and he subsequently agreed a commission to paint a similar painting in different colours for us. We now have his painting and we are delighted with it - it looks stunning. It was a pleasure dealing with Peter who could not have been more helpful."
Colin Randell 03/04/2006
"It was a pleasure to speak to you as well. They delivered the AMAZING paintings to me this evening!! I LOVE 'Rapture'!! Thank you so much. Thank you for everything."
Nicole Maury, USA 02/04/2006 [commission of diptych painting by Gaynor Henaghan]
"I have just purchased 2 beautiful 'field poppy' paintings from Thalia Stones, and as a Mini Gallery virgin I have to admit I was a bit nervous. However just a week after sending an enquiry to Thalia they have arrived, well packed and as good as I had expected. Now all I need is a big lottery win to buy up all the lovely paintings I keep spotting!"
Susannah Murphy 01/04/2006

Sandy, London 27/03/2006
"I wanted to let you know that we received our artwork ['Acumen', 'Moves, 'Warm Swirl' and four other commissions by Gaynor Henaghan] yesterday. Each piece was just wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. They are all now hanging on our walls and will be so great to have in place for our house warming party Saturday. You have truly been a pleasure to work with and I hope to do business with you again in the future. You have my highest recommendation. I know I will find more walls in our home as we live there longer that will need one of your pieces. Thank you again for working with us and within our tight timeline."
Ashley Clark, USA 23/03/2006

Andrea 21/03/2006
"Sterling job! The painting ['Femme D'or' by Stella Dunkley] and the packaging and the certificate to match... Very professional. The painting is very dramatic - the colours. It will hang on my landing on white walls so is a great feature against such a plain background."

Steve, Birmingham 13/03/2006
"I received 'Retreat' [by Victoria Stanway] in perfect condition on Wednesday last week, but we put it up at the weekend. Had to wait until we were ready to hang it before taking it out of the very secure packaging - we've got 3 cats who can't be trusted! Have to say we absolutely love it! The colours and the depth are almost mesmerising. We decided to hang it in the bedroom so we can enjoy it more, it was fine in the hallway but we were walking past it all the time rather than appreciating it :-)"
Claire Ashley 13/03/2006
"The painting arrived today ['Rays' by Stella Dunkley] and I've just opened it. Thank you very much for the excellent job that you have done, it's great. The picture was commissioned as a memorial to my Dad Ray (hence the name) who died just after Christmas this year, so I think that the painting lives up to what it was meant to. Thanks again."
Chris, Southport 10/03/2006

Nancy MacAllister, Alabama, USA 10/03/2006

Caroline Taylor 10/03/2006
"Received the painting safely ['The Two Old Boys' by Susan Shaw]. It's brilliant. The mauve mounting really matches it well. I can't wait to get it framed.
Ed Phillips 07/03/2006
"The painting ['Promise' by Gaynor Henaghan] is even better in the 'flesh'."
Kevin & Lynn Griffin 06/03/2006
"I have just received a print by Eileen Fisher of a painting she did. It is of a German Shepherd Dog. Loving & owning this breed ever since I was old enough to talk I just want to say that Eileen has really captured the look the dignity and the loyalty of this wonderful breed. I also want to add the reason this print caught my eye is I have just lost my G.S.D. and have been searching the internet for a painting that would do my best friend justice. Well when I saw this print that Eileen painted it was my Trapper. To sum it all up she knows how to capture the details of the G.S.D. I am so proud to display this magnificent work of art. I know my Trapper is proud to see it and that it represents his memory. Eileen I just want to THANK YOU from my heart it's a great work of art and you are a very talented artist. Everyone should check out her work."

Jane Ellison 24/02/2006
"'Inauthentic' [self portrait by Victoria Stanway] is great. It is going to hang in a very light new bathroom on wall opposite the head end of the bath! When it returns from the framers that is. Trust this does not offend as it is a picture of you after all. Thanks, delivery and packaging were spot on."
Alec Turner 24/02/2006
"Many thanks to Ian Morris for his 'Venetian Light' - I purchased it on Monday and it arrived packed beautifully and in perfect condition on Thursday! The colours are so Venice and he's really captured the place's ethereal wateriness, if that makes sense. A reminder of many happy times there..."
Jo Heinrich 23/02/2006
"We have just finished dinner in our red dining room and 'Storm III' is absolutely stunning. It has given this space a bold, completely new look.

"Wow wow wow, fantastic, couldn't be happier"... that's a quote from Shona. As you will gather we really like them. They really work on the box frame. Now contemplating something for my study!! Tonight is going to be focused on picture hanging. Thanks again for all your efforts in getting the prints to us so quickly (and of course for painting them!!)"
Terry & Shona Jones 16/01/2006
"Giles Illsley has got to be one of the most talented and "up-and-coming" artists alive today on the planet. I saw his work on your website and ordered his architectural drawings which now grace my law office. His work is intricate and impressive with an attention to every detail. I have seen his work involving persons, pets, and wildlife. The realism is astounding and his finished work is always remarkably better than the photo given to him. I have commissioned him to do a pastel drawing of my teenage son at three stages of his life. I know that I will not be disappointed. I recommend his work and abilities highly."
Charles, Louisiana, USA 16/01/2006
"The drawing 'Terriers' in Gilli Sand's gallery is of our Welsh and wire haired fox terriers. It is breathtaking. Never before have we seen a pen and ink drawing that could bring a beloved pet to life like this. Words cannot describe how much we love our picture."

Hetty Thornton, Norfolk 06/01/2006
"Just a note to say that I think the painting is wonderful - I'm sure my sister will love it! I would also like to say what a pleasure it has been
dealing with you; very professional and courteous. Thank you again."
