“To my surprise and delight, for my birthday, my husband has surprised me with a painting you have done for me. First of all I love it so much and also it brought me to tears. One of those cats isn’t with us anymore, he was my wee man for 13 years before he died. You have absolutely got him down, even the naughty look in his eye. Thank you so much. This will be something that I will absolutely treasure for the rest of my life.” Beth O’Farrell

“As new grandparents we wanted to capture the moment of meeting our baby daughter Juno in a keepsake that could be gifted to her when she is grown. I knew Joel would make a very good and professional job of painting both of the images we asked for in oils. Joel stayed in touch all the way through the creative process to double check aspects and ask for extra reference photos to get the details right. When we unwrapped the finished canvases we were blown away! Plans to do housework dropped as I spent the next hour posing the pictures around the house in different spaces and lighting to decide where they will go. Thank you Joel so much. I’m not keen to give them to Juno any time soon.” Peta Dowle
