Here are some very kind words from customers who are now proud owners of my paintings & prints....
"Magnificent and Stunning are the only words that come to mind to describe 'The Tree of Strength', the pictures on the internet do not do it justice, I cannot tell you how pleased we are with it, the colours are fantastic. It is already on the wall and it 'hits' you as soon as you walk in the room. As for 'Love and All Its Warmth' they are so unusual and look brilliant in our hallway. Tina, Thank you so much" Colin, Essex, 12th November 2010.
"Tina has made my first original art purchase such an enjoyable experience. Her vibrant and refreshing style really caught my eye, and the use of colour is magical. I am thrilled with my painting and will be looking out for more of Tina's work in the future. Super helpful and Super talented." Thomas, Hertfordshire re: "How Far Will My Love Go?" 27th October 2010.
Thank you for such a careful packaging, and for the best of communication!
I am sure we will be contacting again soon! Till then my best wishes for creativity and inspiration!"

I had some friends over today for lunch and they were all admiring you lovely work! So I'm really chuffed and proud. Anyway Tina, I guess this is goodbye.

"I have just received my painting 'The Tree of Good Fortune' by Tina Ashton and it is already on the wall. It looks fantastic and we are very pleased with our purchase. We had not previously ordered art on the internet and were not sure what to expect, but Tina has provided an excellent service from start to finish. Thank you very much Tina". Kind regards, Colin.

“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”

“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 Gold & Through the Darkness]
"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."
Richard, Warwickshire 18/12/2007 ['Peace at Last']

"Was over with Adele last night and finally she got her piece of 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!"

"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."
Phil, West Yorkshire 11/08/2007 [Little Girl Lost]
"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."

"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."
Niamh, Dublin 01/06/2007 ['Molten Copper' by Tina Ashton]
"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, Cheshire 22/05/2007
"I 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 the Darkness) Kate, 12/12/06
"I am so delighted by my painting of 'Hi Sexy' by Tina Ashton!! She is such a lovely and talented person, I was so amazed by the picture it looks 10 x better now I have got it home. I will cherish it forever, I have now decided it is now going to be passed on to my children. Lost for words!!! thank you Mini Gallery, thank you Tina."

"Bought '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 & OK Sweetie
