“The painting [Golden Love] arrived yesterday and I saw it for the first time just now. I love it! It's just what I was after and couldn't be better...thank you. I'm now in a dilemma as it was meant for my bedroom but looks perfect in the lounge. So I think I'll be ordering something else from you soon :) Rachel, London 24/06/08
"I bought two paintings from Tina Ashton, 'Promise Me' and 'Together' and they are both exquisite pieces of art work. No doubt I will be back for many more in the future and her customer service is great too. Thanks so much."
Elaine, London 18/06/2008
"Just to let you know, the painting arrived safe and sound - excellent packaging! We are extremely delighted with the painting - so much better seeing it in real life. It now has pride of place in our new conservatory adding colour and vibrancy to a room that was purposely left simple with a neutral colour scheme. It has been a pleasure doing business with you." Richard, Renfrewshire 01/05/2008 [Somewhere in Suburbia]
"The
painting has arrived safely. We are delighted with the piece, it looks
great on the wall." Rachel, Glasgow 22/02/2008 [For You, Hearts
& Flowers]
"Took delivery of the painting on Tuesday after ordering at the
weekend. We've already got it on the wall and we're really delighted
with it. I love the work's 'surface tension': what it holds between
the suggested depth of the colouring and the soft layering of the acrylic
itself - something that can't be conveyed through the internet! The
painting was expertly packaged and we very much appreciate your personal
service ie. the gift card and the great communication. Many thanks again.
All in all, a very happy customer." Alan, Ayr, Scotland 15/3/08

"Hi Tina, It was nice to meet you too earlier in the week. I don't
think I've met a real life artist before so it was nice to meet the
creator of my paintings. As I now have six pieces of your work I guess
that must make me a fan by default if nothing else. I hope you don't
mind me saying but I think I've had the pick of the bunch, I love them
all. I'm also feeling quite poor at the moment so please don't paint
anything good for a while... Only joking, I'm glad to hear I've spurred
you on to create more. I will keep my eye your gallery for new creations
or please free to email me. Best Regards" Richard, Warwickshire

"Hi Tina, Just a note to say thank you for all your time and effort
over that last week it has been greatly appreciated, and a huge thank
you for the print 'Through The Darkness'. It has already found a home
on our daughter's bedroom wall and will be very special to all of us.
Many regards, and again Thankyou," Alan, Notts, 16/1/08 [Liquid

"My painting arrived last Tuesday and was on the wall that same
evening. I've off set each opposite piece to add an extra modern twist.
It looks marvelous even if I do say so myself and I'm really pleased.
I'm looking forward to my friends' comments over the festive period.
The certification enclosed with my painting is very professional and
a good touch too, especially if you become super famous."

over the moon with it. The communication from the artist was first rate,
and very friendly. Delivery was arranged for our convenience. The painting
itself is lovely, we have bought it for a wedding present for some friends

fine art. She couldn't believe that she has an original print and such
a lovely piece of work to show off in her new home. She is so delighted
and again emailed me this morning to thank me for her pressie and to
thank you for your work. It has been a real pleasure staying in touch
with you from beginning to end, the whole process was so easy and "friendly".
Thanks again, and maybe you might hear from me again soon. I would recommend
you to everyone!"

'Close' has arrived here in Singapore early this morning you will be
glad to hear all safe and sound! You can now relax! It was very well
packed, took me some time to get into it! It looks fantastic! Think
we will put it in the bedroom, will send you a picture when it is on
the wall. Again many thanks for organising, will keep looking at the
website!" Christine, Singapore 19/09/2007 [painting by Tina Ashton]
"Painting
arrived in perfect condition within two days of placing my order; very
pleased to say it looks exactly as I'd hoped it would."

"I
recently commissioned 2 pieces from Tina based on 'The Kiss' and 'In
Deep'. I was a little nervous about this as I haven't used the website
before, but everything went really well. I thoroughly enjoyed working
with Tina. We emailed each other virtually every day regarding the progress
of my paintings, and I was more than happy when my beautiful paintings
arrived safely and right on time." Julie, Staffs 01/08/2007
"Thanks,
paintings are great, I am very happy with them, and they are on my
walls already! ['Love Grows' and 'Through the Darkness' by Tina Ashton]
The service you offered was brilliant, and I will keep checking to see
if you have any similar work." Anthony, Buckinghamshire 05/07/2007
"I
commissioned 'Amazed IV' by Tina Ashton because I had seen 'Amazed III'
on this website and wanted something similar for my newly decorated
bedroom. Tina was really lovely to work with she made sure that she
understood exactly what I wanted, even down to selecting the right frame
for the painting. I had an idea in my head of what the finished picture
would look like, and it was great to see how well the finished painting
matched the one in my head. I would definitely recommend commissioning
a painting to anyone as it really is an exciting process. I don't think
I could have felt more pleased even if I'd painted it myself."
Comfort, London 02/07/2007
"we
have the painting and we are very pleased with it, the only problem
is that we have picked it as a present (for one of our ushers as we
are getting married in a fortnight) and we want it ourselves!! We may,
therefore be contacting you again in the future. Thanks again, the painting
is great, packaging very well done and we liked the touch of the certificate."

a Very Big Thank You!! and it has been a pleasure doing business with

"Just
wanted to let you know I got the painting safe and sound and I love
it! the only problem now is where to put it... I also love the little
"extras" of greetings card and the cute business card as well
as the certificate of authenticity. Hope to do business again with you
in the future and I'll be keeping an eye on your online gallery."

"This
is my first visit to Mini Gallery and it certainly won't be my last.
A well organised website helped me find that 'right picture'. Many thanks
go to artist Tina Ashton for her determination in getting the picture
('Sundown IV') to us without delay and very safely. Communication via
email made all the organisation go like clockwork. I would thoroughly
recommend her as a seller (and an artist!). The picture is already on
display and becoming a firm favourite in the house. Thanks!" Andrew,

received the print this morning and I am very pleased with it. It will
make a perfect gift for a friend. I am actually thinking about buying
another one for myself, and I shall contact you about that next week
some time". (about Through the Darkness)
"I
was going to e-mail you this morning but you beat me to it! However,
your print did arrive at the post office on Saturday before 1pm, but
unfortunately we were not in to receive it. I collected it yesterday
afternoon and it is absolutely lovely thankyou - we really love it,
and hopefully we will have it framed and up on the wall in time for
Xmas. Thank
you so much for sending it so quickly - and obviously for painting the
original in the first place! It really is beautiful." (about Through

'Amazed II Golden Moments' and could not be happier with the painting.
Service great, received artwork the day after Tina had sent it with
plenty of bubble wrap. P.S. My daughter would like me to leave the painting
in my will for her, but not for a long time hopefully..."
Edith, Scotland, 29/4/06
"The
prints arrived safely this afternoon ...... they tried to deliver them
yesterday but arrived just when we had to go out for half an hour down
to the vets. There was miles of bubble wrap ...... but your care really
paid off!! "Wow wow wow, fantastic, couldn't be happier" ........
that's a quote from Shona. As you will gather we really like them. They
really work on the box frame. Now contemplating something for my study!!
Tonight is going to be focused on picture hanging. Thanks again for
all your efforts in getting the prints to us so quickly (and of course
for painting them!!)" (about prints of Precious, Call Me &
