I had lunch with my son Saturday.  He was surprised and very happy.  He liked the piece a lot.  I told him of some of our conversations about the framing, colors, etc.  He was impressed and appreciated the personal touches.  Thanks for everything.  If I need another ‘work of art’ I will definitely give you a call.”

• California

The picture has arrived and is totally beautiful.  Thank you for your work.  I am so happy with all of it.  Now I have to figure out where to hang it.  Cant keep something that beautiful hidden.

I would like to say that you have been by far the best dealer I have done business with in the years I have collected.  Not only are you very professional, but you have been very friendly.  I have dealt with some dealers in the past who have been extremely impersonal and you could even say rude.  But you have been terrific and I can guarantee that I will do business with you again.
