customer feedback

Here's a few comments some of my customers have made - thank you!

“Dear Richard, There are a million words...and there are no words. It is so much more than I ever imagined...thank you so much. It always felt so right to have you paint the portrait.”

-Nell, Strathmore VIC

“Thought you might like to know that my husband was absolutely thrilled and delighted with his portrait. He used the words, "amazing, extraordinary, stunning" and approved of the facial expression. He says your attention to detail is fantastic. He is so impressed and delighted that after we have received it back from framers he may take it to chambers to hang in his chamber …he is pressing me to have my portrait done by you and the children in the future to hang in our home.”

-Jenny, Sydney NSW

“I just wanted to say that you are an absolute genius. The painting arrived yesterday and it is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for this incredible memoir of my family that we will have for generations. I will definitely be using your services again in the future! Thanks so much!”

-Tamara, Marsden QLD

“Painting received safe and sound. Grand family unveiling last night and all in “AWE”. I’m absolutely speechless as is everybody else… it’s fantastic. My father in law was nearly brought to tears and just sat and looked at the painting. Lianne is still getting over the surprise!!! We had some professional photos done last weekend, so when ready in a few weeks, I will send the individual girls photos to do a set of 3 more paintings. Sincere regards and thanks.”

-Ray, Perth WA

“Just simply divine....all my friends up here want to know where I got it from because they have never seen anything like it before ....of course I told them. I keep moving it around the room so I can see it at all times. My husband is so pleased with it as well.....he says he never thought that he would look so cute in a big picture...ha! ha! ........Thanks again.”

-Jenny, Cairns QLD

“Received item today and it’s absolutely fantastic, better than the photo. Once again thanks for your efforts – I can't express how good it is.”

-Danny, Perth WA

“Good morning Richard, words can hardly describe not only the reaction of myself, but of the many people present when we presented the portrait to the family at a little function we had yesterday. It was really emotional for everyone who was there and the comments were all the same - that they could not believe that someone had been able to do what you did with Bobby's painting. His wife Veronica was completely overwhelmed and immediately asked me for your address to send her thanks. I think that Bobby was up there guiding us to you!!!”

-Larissa, Bendigo VIC

"The package arrived today...WOW, I'm speechless! The detail is incredible...you have an amazing talent for painting automobiles. I feel your work NEEDS to be seen over here in the States."

- Bill, West Virginia USA

“Hi Richard, we were so impressed with how you captured our parents personality so well, and how much like them your painting was. Words cannot express how happy and how much appreciation we all share.”

-Deanne, Cameron Park NSW

“I just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for an amazing job! I've seen a lot of horse paintings over the years, but never one quite like that. It is excellent. Your attention to detail (right down to little things like the tape on his bandages and the check in the bottom saddle pad) just blew me away. I can feel the power of his turn every time I look at it. Everyone who has seen it has been awe-struck with your work. Thank you so much for something that I will treasure forever and will always make me think back to a very special horse.”

-Michelle, Canberra ACT

“It is amazing how you captured the essence of the two people in the painting. We are all gob-smacked. Congratulations on a job well done.Thanks again!”

-Gerard, Leichhardt NSW

“Just wanted to let you know that there were lots and lots of tears at first of course but Duncan loved it. He said it was "phenomenal." He was so pleased with all that had been included and said that it was a perfect representation of his dad’s life. The country scene was perfect as his dad used to drive that car down in Victoria through that kind of country which I did not know. He is very proud of it and has been telling everyone about it and saying it is worth getting on a plane to come and see it!”

-Gloria, Palmview QLD

“Hello Richard, the portrait was a HUGE success, it is hanging in the lounge room pride of place, everyone one had a ‘good’ look at it and all said it was a ‘spitting image’ of him. Thank you so very much it is truly a present that will be treasured.”

-Janet, Melbourne VIC

“We have received the paintings and they are even more fantastic in real life. We cannot believe the likeness and your attention to detail. Words cannot express what a wonderful job you did.”
