• I received the painting yesterday. I'm so happy you were able to do that for me. It looked excellent online but was much more dramatic in person. Thank you again for the quick and smooth shipment. I look forward to seeing more of your works online. — B.H.

• Lena, got the paintings yesterday, FABULOUS! They are WONDERFUL ... Thanks for signing them ... they are worthy of remembering where and whence they have come, Toronto ... Thank you ever so — T.O.

• You are exceptionally talented. Though I don't paint much I enjoy art. Your cheerful compositions are of exceptional quality. I appreciate all your colorful works. The layouts are well thought of. Do you sketch them out first on canvas or just proceed with a general layout in mind? For some time now I was thinking will painting ever change beyond Rubens-Constable-Monet and Picasso. Well, there you are now doing something cheerful, elegant and original thinking. — S

• Your work has a modern feel that is so perfect for my life and surroundings! Just so you know, I love that 5 piece set, and I like bright colors... If you could let me know when your next one is done it would be appreciated... I hope you can do something similar in simplicity and elegance... Can't wait to see what it looks like! Thanks! — S.

• Just wanted to congratulate you on an awesome collection of work. I have never seen such a bulk of work all having the "WOW" factor. You are an inspiration to all us 'wanna be' artists. Keep up the incredible work. — D.
