Its actually bank holiday here today so a public holiday in the UK. Having said that Nick has been working in the studio, whilst I took the Christmas tree down and spring cleaned the cottage. It always looks empty when all the cards and decorations are gone, but it is much tidier! My job tomorrow is to tidy and clean the studio as it hasn’t been done for a while and its good to get organised at the start of the year.
We have received some really lovely testimonials over the last few days from clients who’s family have received their portraits over Christmas. Ill add one of them below as its just perfect and we are thrilled to hear back from clients, it really does make our day!
Melanie & Nick,
I am writing to express my most sincere thanks for the wonderful portrait that you have completed for me–I was totally speechless when I saw it,especially as I had absolutely no idea what was planned,and then I guess,quite emotional.It is just perfect–thank you so very much. My family all love it too and I assure you that it will now be very much a family treasure.Thank you both so much and for all the advice that I am sure you gave to David–incidentally I think the frame,which I believe he was a touch worried about, is so right for the painting.
With vey best wishes for 2012 and again my thanks Barbara Baker
Isn’t that wonderful! Nick has started the portrait of Lilly and the first stage is below, I will have more stages tomorrow and will take photos as he is painting.
