TESTIMONIALS
“I commissioned a painting of my late Father by Esther Douglas. Getting a loved one immortalised in a portrait felt like a slightly risky venture and I had high expectations. When the big reveal moment came I was completely stunned. It wonderfully captures not just my Dad’s visage but his gentle nature and the twinkle in his eye. It feels like it bursts off the canvas with life and vitality. I am most delighted with the portrait and treasure it highly!”

“Esther is a talented young artist with a particular gift for portraiture. For my friends' Diamond Wedding Anniversary I commissioned Esther to paint their portraits. This was very successful: they were greatly appreciated by the couple and much admired by our friends. For a special gift, what could be better than a unique piece of art by a contemporary artist with a great future?”

“Working with Esther to create a portrait from a photo of my Dad was a positive experience in every way. Esther was communicative throughout the entire process… and together we decided on what would be the best image to paint. Esther developed the most stunning work of art. It is beyond my expectations. Every time I walk past the portrait I smile. You truly captured my Dad’s likeness. Esther has immense talent and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
