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 -

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.
