"The portrait has gone down a storm at Forest, and I absolutely love it. You are so clever! You captured all the things we talked about and I am so grateful and so impressed. It matters a great deal to me that the artist is an Old Forester. You are very talented and clearly pursuing the right path for your career!"

"A truly talented artist who has painted an incredibly life-like, detailed painting of my father. He, as well as the whole family, were amazed by the portrait. He was pleasantly surprised by the likeness and also very impressed by the colourful and delicate brushwork, declaring: "It really is me!"
