"I am pleased to say the Caricature artwork arrived safely and we are all delighted with the finished result! It's now gone for framing and will be presented to the Admiral at the Society's AGM early next
month.

Once again, many thanks for what I am sure will be a successful and
memorable retirement gift."

"I have received the picture and am really pleased with it - thank you so much. I can't wait to see my other half's face when he opens it on Christmas Day - he has no idea!"

"My boyfriend loves the picture - it's perfect. Thank you once again and Happy New Year."

"The drawing is astonishingly good. I can't think of any better words to describe it. I had been a little apprehensive as caricatures can be rather unflattering, but I need not have worried because you got it just right. I can hardly wait to see Ruth and Tony's reaction when they see it."

"Just a quick note to let you know that I received the artwork today and it looks fab!Ê She's going to be so chuffed, and I'm gutted that I'm going to have to wait for 2 weeks before giving it to her - but the look on her face will be so worth it! Thank you once again, for doing this - it is worth every penny! Thanks once again, and I hope to use your services once more in the near future."

"The artwork has arrived safely and if you received my voicemail you'll know we're absolutely made up with it! It's better than we could have expected and we're really glad we went ahead with it. You've obviously a major talent for this sort of thing and we hope you continue to do well with it as a business. We'll definitely use you again and obviously recommend you to anyone and everyone!"

"I just wanted to say that my husband loved the drawing and thought it a really original present. And he even thought it looked like him!"

"Gail, thank you so much for the great and (very kind) caricature of my husband, it was much appreciated and has pride of place now. Congratulations on your wonderful talent.

"I just wanted to write and say thank-you once again. Now I've had a chance to really look at the drawing it really is fantastic! I've shown it all around the office and everyone is amazed at the likeness and detail. My boss has asked for your details, he's thinking of a birthday present for his wife. I am certainly one very happy customer!"

"Hi Gail, thought you might like to know James's reaction to the caricature. It was 'brilliant, I love it, I absolutely love it'. So there we go, a very successful present. Thanks again."

"Thank you so much for the picture. It looks so good and can't believe how much it looks like them even though you have never met them! They loved the picture and it was on show for the whole (wedding) day and everyone commented on how good it was."

"Many thanks for the caricature, an excellent drawing and your swiftness in executing the commission is much appreciated."

"My mate will love it, especially how you've drawn his giant sovereign ring!"

"Thank you very much for the drawings - they have been framed and are already up in the diving bar along with a lot of comments!"
