Delighted with our original watercolour painting by John. We were served by Shirley, what a delight, what a wonderful lady. We felt so welcome, chatted away with Shirley like we knew her. Hubby wanted an original piece of art to remember his holidays in Whitby with his dad. The piece is hanging on our living room wall and it looks fantastic! Thank you Shirley for a great shopping experience, thank you John for painting a wonderful image, very talented. Regards, Andy and Sandra.
I've visited the studio many times. I have been looking at these wonderful framed prints for the last few years and finally treated myself this summer. They're in pride of place on our living room wall. Absolutely love them. A great shop with lovely helpful staff. Fantastic delivery service too! Thank you!
Very interesting shop with some lovely works displayed in the window. I was intrigued by the painting of whitby by moonlight. The proprietor is a very friendly guy and this only adds to the atmosphere which is very welcoming. He was only to happy to let me browse. He also talked me through any of his work I showed an interest in which provided most enlightening. A very enjoyable experience that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. This is certainly a great place not to be missed.
Visited your shop on Saturday and bought a picture from your son . Asked if he had inherited your talent and he said no . But he was polite , didn't rush us and nothing was to much trouble for him . So he's gifted too !
We walked past on a Saturday night and one painting just stood out for me and I fell in love instantly. We went back on Sunday and had a look around. It was quiet but felt nice. Paintings were gorgeous! I bought a print of the one I saw and could not be happier with it. I'm hoping to buy more. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.
