Here are a few of the kind words that some of my pencil portrait customers have sent me.

You'll find some more comments on some of the gallery pages.

Whether it was human or animal, small or large, framed or unframed, in different ways I've certainly enjoyed drawing each of them.

If you think I could draw a pencil portrait for you, please email me at

Paul has just dropped Charlie's portrait off and it is wonderful. Thank you ever so much and just to let you know it is going to take pride of place over the mantelpiece in our front room.

All the best

Basi,

Thanks very much! I am thrilled with the portrait - it couldn't be any better! I am sure I'll be in touch very soon for those special birthday presents! I have told every single person I know about you (except Daryl for whom it is still a secret, can't believe I've got away with it!) and will continue to spread the word.  Basi you have a wonderful talent and our portrait will always be passed down through our family so your talent will always be remembered.

Once again, thank you and I'll speak to you soon,

Tracy

Hiya, I love the pictures, you've really captured the kids as they are, they now hang in pride of place. 

Like a lot of teenagers they shy away from photos of themselves, but with the portraits they are actually bringing friends in to see them, which is the highest possible praise!!

Basi,

Basi what can I say but thank you so much for having such a wonderful talent, I opened up this large present, & said "it's a drawing of a cat, ( pause ) it's my cat !!!". 

I think it's super and magic and.............. lots of other adjectives i can't spell.

Thanks again

Hi Basi,

I promised to let you know Maria's reaction to her portrait. It was just as I had predicted...WOW!! She said it was like looking into a mirror.
She sends her thanks for such a wonderful present, and once again so do I.

Wishing you every success in the future.

All the best.

Fine and delicate line, body and shade. 

Hope you will have great success and get zillions of commissions.

Received safe and sound with thanks.  We will be able to treasure this picture of Sam into our old age

Out of interest Sam is short for Samson.  His father has not had good health and thought with a name like Samson, 'Sam' would!
