<p>When somebody that has acquired one of my paintings, appreciate it so much and let it me know, I can&#8217;t even explain the happiness in my heart.  To me, this is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Best of Being an Artist</span>, the<strong> &#8220;appreciation</strong>&#8220;; and that is why, with so much pride, I would like to share these emails from one of my customers:</p>
<div id="message1586630761">
<p id="yiv9871608"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #000000; font-size: x-small;"> </span></p>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>Dear Carmen</em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>I just wanted to let you know that I collected my (your!) painting: &#8220;True  Story&#8221; today. Thank you so much for a wonderful piece of art. It arrived in  first class condition, having been expertly packaged for shipping. I have been  away for a week, so I collected it from the Royal Mail depot nearby after  clearing it through customs. I have a good idea where it will go in my house, so  I will send you a photograph when I have placed it.</em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>Thank you also for enclosing the certificate, which I will keep safe. Who  knows, I may just browse your website from time to time!! I celebrate the power  of the internet in bringing me into contact with you and your work!</em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>With kindest regards</em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>David, Yorkshire, England.</em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><br />
</em></span></div>
<div>&#8230;a couple of weeks later:</div>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>Dear Carmen</em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>These photos are the best I can do! My living room is quite small, but I have some dimmer spotlights on the ceiling which highlight the painting nicely in the evening. You can see why I selected your painting for its colours and the modern abstract design. The decor is fairly plain, so your painting introduces some very pleasant accents.</em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>Thanks again</em></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>David<br />
</em></span></div>
