"We thoroughly enjoyed the unique experience that Jane has created by painting the portrait of our children on holidays. Jane was very easy and at the same time very professional to deal with. The whole process from the meeting on the beach, to selecting the right photo, to receiving the finished product was a very personal and exciting experience that involved the whole family. We are delighted with our finished picture and have no hesitation recommending Jane's Fine Art to those who want more than just a photo to capture their holiday so personally and uniquely."

"A painted portrait of our children was a dream which we thought would never be realised. That was until we met Jane! Her professional approach ensured the process was a pleasant experience not only for the parents but the children also. We are thrilled with the result and the masterpiece will always command pride of place in our home."
“PS: If you believe it would carry extra relevance it would be fine to also include my mobile number which is 0438825915. Sometimes potential purchasers may wish to talk with someone who has already been through the process. We would be happy to heap praise on your talents."

“After seeing a girlfriend’s painting of her children that Jane had painted, the very first thing I did when we arrived in Noosa for our holiday was to ring Jane and organize a time for her to come and take photos of my boys to get my painting underway. Jane was wonderful with my very active, boisterous boys and made them feel relaxed and happy. She took some wonderful photos out of which we chose 2 for the painting. Jane was fantastic in helping us sort out which photos would blend together well to create the best painting. Once complete, Jane e-mailed a photo of the painting to us. There were a few issues to be sorted out e.g. do we need to add a bucket and/or a spade to the scenery? Jane was most helpful and always responded to my e-mails promptly, with professionalism and good humour. (Parents can be so picky). I was thrilled with the end result and proudly display ‘my boys’ for everyone to see and admire.
I would certainly have no qualms in recommending Jane to anyone who was after a beautiful portrait of their children. “

“Jane I don't think that I have thanked you since I received the actual item. It is GREAT! We are very happy with the end result and everyone who has seen it thinks that it is a very good likeness.
As you know, we were looking for a good portrait artist for a while. One that could paint our children without stiff formality and with a beautiful background, you achieved both.
Hope you are busy and doing well."

“Jane, we would be thrilled to write a testimonial. Everyday your painting brings me intense joy. The girls have already said, "when can we do another one, we loved playing with Jane." Not quite your normal response from having had to sit for a portrait painting session! Thankyou so much, once again"

“Jane, we are thrilled with the magnificent portraits of our four children at the beach. You cleverly captured their individual personalties and facial expressions to perfection. We have had many compliments and thoroughly recommend your artwork."

"Hi Jane,
I wanted to thank-you again for the fabulous portrait you did of the children. They had a great time "modelling" for you and were thrilled to see the end result. Our friends are still amazed at your work. As you know, I hadn't commissioned anything before, so thank-you for keeping me up to date with emails and phone calls.
It's lovely to have a special record of our holidays in Noosa and I hope it helps the children to always remember their happy childhood. I'm looking forward to getting the next portrait done when they are a little older.
See you next summer."

“We came across Jane quiet by chance as we were walking through the local markets whilst on holidays.
Some of her completed work was on display and caught my eye. When Jane explained what she did I immediately fell in love with the idea.We met on the beach, spent a glorious afternoon watching Jane play with our children which resulted in some of the best pictures ever taken of them.We come home and let her do her thing. A couple of emails later it was done.
I can honestly say, I love it. It is the best thing we ever did. Jane captured the magic of that moment. It is perfect.
As for Jane herself, she was wonderful to work with and has been the topic of many dinner parties when we are asked '' WOW, who did that?"

“Thank you for an absolutely fantastic job of our portrait of C-Jai. We have walked past your stall at Eumundi market and thought many times we should have a portrait painted and now that we have we love it. It hangs centrally in our home and is a talking point for our guests and C-Jai loves having herself on the wall as well. The care and effort that was taken to ensure the right shot was used was fantastic, the fact that you spent an hour or two with us at the beach to get to know C-Jai's personality really made a difference as well. All in all a brilliant job and I would happily recommend anyone to you to have a portrait done of their children, an ever lasting memory."
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, we love it.
All the best Julie & Richard Rose
