Hello Roger
Words actually fail me, tears were closer than words. Beautifully captured, so life like. My husband's reaction is the same. We will treasure it and obviously tell every one. It is a gift you must treasure Thank you so much I must now start saving again.  A painting with all there faces is something I have always wanted. I think they have stopped producing, but need to hurry in case of great grandchildren.
 

THANK YOU,YOUR SITE HAS GOT ME BACK INTO ART AGAIN .PORTRAITS WERE MY SPECIALITY, SO AM STARTING AT THAT POINT, AND HOPEFULLY WILL IMPROVE .REGARDS BRIDGET FRUSTRATED- ARTIST – NO -MORE


Hi Rodger
I am working away just now but my wife tells me she received the portrait today and in her words "its absolutely beautiful, best birthday present shes ever had". So if shes happy so am I !!!!


Both my wife and myself are extremely happy with the portrait you did for us, she was very surprised with the present and thought it was a very original idea. I cant think of anything to criticize, the portrait itself is excellent and the process from sending in the photo to receiving the finished portrait is also very good. You replied to my emails very quickly and I was surprised at how quickly I received th finished picture. Several people that have seen the portrait have been interested in how it was done so maybe they will be in touch with you in the future. Best Regards and a Merry Christmas - Paul U.S.A.


Thanks so much for the portrait.  It's great! I think my sister will love it. I'm really pleased I can give her something so special for her birthday. And thank you for doing it well within my time frame.  It means I've got plenty of time to get it framed and wrapped and sent. - Julia U.K.


The portrait was excellent and made my mum very happy when I gave it to her for her birthday.  The service was also excellent, you were very helpful and efficient. Thanks - Kelly U.S.A.



Thank you for the portrait, it is superb. I am really pleased with it and remain very grateful that you were willing to redo this for me. I would be more than happy for you to use this on your website, along with my recommendation, for the actual portrait and the excellent customer service - 
Trudi. UK.
 

Dear Roger, Portrait has just arrived safely. Very pleased and can't wait to get it framed. Display this as and when you wish. Many Thanks, - Paul U.K.


Dear Roger
Thank you for the portraits you did for me it was lovely.  It will be the perfect gift for Christmas Thank you once again. Yours sincerely - Miss L U.K.



Thanks very much Roger for the pastel picture you did for us. Fantastic! Shall be back to order again soon Regards, JAMES
 

Roger, Thanks very much for the pastel portrait we requested, we are thrilled with the result, and I'm sure my father in law will be also. Sue U.K..                 


Dear Roger,
Received your finished portrait this morning and I’m very delighted with the outcome. As I’m taking her out to her favourite restaurant for a meal on her birthday, I hope to surprise her during the evening
and I’m hoping, well I’m almost certain, that she will be absolutely delighted when she sees the portrait. I’ve put the portrait in a nice frame , it looks perfect,  so it will take pride and place in our sitting room. Thank you ever so much for your effort and skill. - Haydn UK. 


Hi Roger,
Thank you so much for the portrait, it is wonderful, you have a real gift and I am already singing your praises to everyone I know. I am so sorry for doubting you in the beginning.
The fact that the portrait arrived today is especially significant.
The picture was of my dad. He died on the 23rd of January this year and I wanted a portrait of him to give to my mum for Christmas. Shortly after he died I visited a medium who said that my dad was very impressed with the picture I had of him in a silver frame but he thought the picture would look better in an old fashioned wooden frame. He also said he thought he looked a fine figure of a man in the picture. I do not have a picture of him in a silver frame, my sister does, but it is of my father aged 3 so he doesn't look a fine figure of a man. We put it down to a useless medium and forgot about it.
On the 29th of November 2002 (a year today) my dad, my mum, my sister and myself went to the the hospital to get results of dads MRI scan, he had had a stroke in September and wasn't getting any better. There the doctor told us that it wasn't a stroke, my dad had a brain tumor, there was nothing they could do and he had weeks left a couple of months at the most. I can't explain the pain, the actual physical pain, I am feeling it still as I write this. That was the worst day of our lives ever (so far).
I cared for him alone at first but as he deteriorated mum and my sister joined me, we had excellent nurses from the Ellenor and together we made dad's last 2 months as happy and pain free as possible.
Well to get to the point, the picture I sent to you was scanned to me by my sister and I use it as wallpaper on my laptop. The screen of which is surrounded by a silver frame!! The paper you drew the portrait on will match the frame the medium described to me perfectly. Spooky huh? One last thing, as you have probably realised there are only two girls in my dads family, no boys. He was the last Parnell in his line and we are both married so that side of our family name is finished. That is something that has always bothered me. Your asking to put the portrait on your website has also solved that problem. Of course you can put it on we would be honored to see it. If by any chance anyone ever asks you who it is his name was Mick Parnell he wasn't perfect but he is loved.
Thanks again Roger you have made a difficult day a little easier. - Jackie U.S.A.


Roger, The pencil drawing you did of my sister is truly brilliant, I'm very pleased with it, and I'm sure my sister is going to like it also. - Karen U.K..



Hi Roger,
Just a note to say I am in receipt of the portrait and am thrilled to bits with it.  Also, please feel free to display it on your website if you so wish, it is something to be proud of and it will certainly be cherished. Also, thank you for your promptness in completing it before Christmas, as promised.  I trust you received the cheque ok. - Mrs J. U.S.A.
 

Just to let you know that I received the drawing safe and sound and have to admit it was just what I was after so thanks very much for doing that.  And a special thanks for the lightening turnaround of the whole thing, I expected it all to take weeks not days! Thanks again and have a great Christmas - Tom U.S.A.



Roger,
Hello, thank you for your wonderful drawing of Victoria, I thought it was pretty good, Tori thought it made her look like she was 16 or something, but anyways I really do appreciate the work and time you did.  Thanks for your cooperation and great work!  The hard part was picking out a frame with her.. - raj U.S.A.
 

Hello
You did several portraits and pictures for me last year, I'm very happy with them still! I'd like you to do another one please. I have the picture to email (I think!) I just need to know how I should pay and how to proceed?
Also do you have any idea on timings as I need to post the portrait to Australia. Thank you -
Jenny U.S.A.


I am now in receipt of the picture which is excellent, thank you very much. - Steve U.K.



Hi there Roger
Just wanted to let you know the portrait arrived this morning and I am very pleased with it. It will make a lovely first Father's Day present for my husband and seeing as we are moving house in a few months will be able to be hung in lovely surroundings.
Thank you for the help and advice you gave me in choosing the photographs for the portrait and for the speedy completion. Please feel free to post the portrait and any of my comments on your website as you see fit. 
Regards - Joy U.S.A.
 

The pastel portrait arrived in wonderful condition. The picture was excellent and was much appreciated so thank you. - Sarah U.S.A.



Hi, Roger,
The landscape picture arrived today and I am VERY HAPPY with it!!!  Your did a GREAT job, particularly when you only had a slanted, fuzzy photograph to go by.  I will certainly have this professional framed immediately, and YES, you may use this picture on your website to advertise.  I hope you do and I hope you get tons of business! 
Many, many thanks!!!!!!!!!1 Amelia U.S.A.
 

Hi, Your site is great, and you seem to be an honest, and true guy, aswell as doing good works, I shall be wanting a portrait very soon of my wife, so I will come to your site again Cheers - Alan Australia.



Good Morning Roger,
On looking up other portrait artists, (which I also am), and that I do often, and aspiring to get into more work now that I am near my "retirement" years, I came upon your wonderful website of works and how a potential client of your's may contact you. I must say, it is excellent as to how you have it set it up to observe and follow. It is uncanny, but your "style" and ability to draw anything from a photo is so similar to how I perform in this media. I, like you, grew up with a pencil in my hand as my imagination was flying with "visual" ideas when continually gazing out the school window during a boring math class. I mean, who needed that stuff with our passion for drawing, right? At this time though, I am only drawing for clients, (and friends), in my community but hope to "expand" on this with a website somsday and hope it is anywhere similar to your's Roger. Have a great day "drawing" and so glad I came upon your website!
Best Regards, James
 

ROGER, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PORTRAIT OF MY SON!!!!! I COULD NOT BE MORE HAPPIER WITH IT. YES,  I GET TYLER'S PORTRAIT DONE EVERY YEAR AND NEXT YEAR I WILL BE CONTACTING YOU TO DO ANOTHER PICTURE OF HIM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SINCERLEY, - SARAH U.S.A.


Hi Roger

Yours - Jane U.K.

Dear Roger... just wanted to thank you so much for the great drawing you did of my parents house - they have just moved from it after 15 years and I am sure they will be thrilled by this momento. Sorry I took so long to reply - but many thanks again Kind regards - Jaci  U.S.A.



Roger,
Just a quick message to let you know that the portrait arrived today safely and in perfect condition. I only ordered it a week ago, do you not sleep or something?!! I am very impressed with the finished product and it is going to make a fantastic Christmas present, my mother will be very pleased.
I must be honest and tell you that I had reservations about what it would look like because the pictures that I sent not only could have been better but I notice your website only shows finished portraits and not with the original photographs, but you seem to have worked some magic with them, especially the picture of my brother now without a beard!! I would be more than happy for you to use the portrait on your website and cannot thank you enough for all your excellent fast service at such short notice. Now that I have found you I know where I will be coming for special presents in the future!! 
Thanks once again, you have a fantastic gift that you utilise well, I hope you have a great Christmas and I look forward to dealing with you again. - James U.K.
 

Hello and thank you for the lovely portrait of Dexter it looks fantastic you have done an excellent job! Trouble is I have to hide it now until Christmas!! cant wait to see my husband's face! - Many thanks. Ita - U.S.A.

 

Rodger – just to say I received the pencil drawing today and I am absolutely delighted with it!. I am sure my husband will be pleased with it when I give it to him for his 40th birthday.


Hello Roger

Thank you for my portrait it is lovely. Wayne was my Partner and he died suddenly eight months ago. As you can imagine his loss has hit me very hard. I can not tell you what this portrait means to me, it will have pride of place in my home and I shall treasure it always. 
I shall certainly recommend you to my friends.
Many thanks again. - Diane. u.k.
 


Roger, Worked from home this morning to wait for the mail and it arrived. Got a nice frame for it.  Thought I smudged it when I put pastel on my hand and a mark on the paper, but got it off ok....Rachel seems very impressed with the picture. Looks very nice.  Thanks very much.  Really good.  Will take pride of place on the wall. Gerwyn
 

Roger,
I received the package and I wanted to extend my gratitude on the completion and beauty of your artwork. Thank you Sincerely, - David u.s.a.



Dear Roger,
Sorry it's taken a while but thank you for the picture of my dog Brecken.It's a present for my parents and I think they will love it.I will be using you again in the new year to do a picture of my two cats.I have also seen the picture on your website and I think it looks fantastic.
Regards, - David U.k.          
    

I have just received the portrait this morning.Thank you for a wonderful job and I will definately use you again for pictures of my cats.Regards  - David. u.k.

Hi Roger,

Many thanks for the portrait of my father which arrived safely this morning and for the advice with regard to framing. I am delighted with the results. You seem to have captured more than just his physical appearance. Your artwork also provides an insight into his character!
I may also wish to commission a figure drawing either in pencil or in pastel at some time in the future. As far as nude figures are concerned is there a pose or poses which you find work better than others? Also what do you think are the relative merits of using pencil instead of pastel and visa versa in respect of figurework?  Many thanks for your efforts which are much appreciated. Regards: - Colin u.k
 

Dear Roger
Sorry I havent been in touch before now I would just like to say how pleased I was with the portrait of my father and would be happy for you to put it on your website.  I am sure that my mother will be so pleased with the end result Thank you - Miss cheryl u.k.



Many thanks for the portrait, it was excellent. We are all delighted with it. Allot of interest has been shown in your work, especially by staff at the hospital. They seemed to think that there would be a need for this type of portrait drawing. As yet I have not passed your details onto the hospital, as at first I would like to ascertain if  you are interested in any future requests of this nature. The organisation that supports neo natal deaths ( S.A.N.D.S.) were only able to provide details of one person who does such work. believe it or not, that person is based in Australia, so I hope that you can see the problems that the organisation is having in finding persons to complete work of your very high standard. Please let me know if you would like me to forward your details onto my contacts within the hospital. Regards  - Brian. u.s.a.


Thank you for all you help and promptness in my request, your service has been excellent and by all mean put my portrait on your web page 
Thanks once again - Kelly U.K.
 

 
Dear Roger,
I received my drawing yesterday and you far exceeded my expectation!  You captured not only the physical characteristics, but also their personality and cute expressions.  These are talents that not everyone can convey in a portrait.  I feel so fortunate that you are so gracious to share your talents with us. I must admit, you are the first time that I have ordered anything off the internet and I was a little hesitant at first. I could not have asked for a better experience! Your quick responses and answers to my many questions went above and beyond the call of duty!  I cannot thank you enough for your time, talents and personal attention.  I will recommend you to all of my friends.  Please feel free to share my picture and comments.  You are wonderful and have earned my respect as an artist and professional. greatest My heartfelt thanks!
- Amy U.S.A.
