I'm a big fan of Linda Hoyle and her horses. This is my third purchase and I absolutely love it. The horse arrived well packaged and in good time, and accompanied by the absolutely most gorgeous little posey of matching flowers in a bottle which I was enchanted with and very grateful to receive. Linda's communication is really good and she takes a great deal of trouble to stay in touch and make sure you receive your art work. No doubt I will be buying more from her in the future. In the meantime I will sit here and enjoy my beautiful winged horse which is everything I hoped it would be - and more.x.

Thank you, Suzie. Everyone who buys from me receives a little bunch of wire flowers, but as this was your third purchase I felt you definitely deserved something a little extra. You mentioned in an earlier email that you had a little bottle which you dug up, so I sent you a bottle I have dug up from our field for you to display your flowers in. Im so pleased you like your winged horse, and thank you so much for your continued support of my work! Linda.xx

This artwork arrived promptly. Again, communications with the artist were really good and she was very helpful throughout the process, taking the time and trouble to get in touch on more than once occasion to see if it had arrived. The artwork (which I totally love) was accompanied by an additional wire posey which I found really charming and was thrilled to receive. I’m delighted to own two sculptures from this incredibly talented lady.

Thankyou Suzie. I very much appreciate your patience when there was a delay in delivery of the previous piece you purchased. As an artist I was lucky enough to continue working throughout Lockdown, but without people like you continuing to buy during these uncertain times, it would have been a very stressful time for me. I hope you continue to enjoy your sculptures. Linda.xx

This is another artwork that took forever to arrive. It was eventually delivered with another one that I bought from the same artist six weeks later (!). However, communications remained prompt and professional throughout and I don’t think that the late delivery was in any way the fault of the artist who was very helpful throughout. I was particularly charmed with the little wire posey that accompanied my purchase. I absolutely LOVE my horse.

Hi Suzie, yes I was getting so worried about the delay, but as it was in the middle of Lockdown I'm just relieved that the parcel arrived eventually as i know some people have also had delivery problems. I'm thrilled you like the horse and i thank you for buying a second piece before the first one had arrived. I really appreciate that you had such faith in me. Linda.xx

Thank you David, I'm so pleased that you like it. I was very happy with how the bronze finish turned out. No two ever end up with the same finish. Linda.xx

I love this gorgeous fish. I thought it might be a bit flimsy from the picture but ordered it as it looked so beautiful. I’ve received it now and I’m delighted to say it is a sturdy and robust piece which conveys delicate and fluid motion. Thanks very much Linda!

Thankyou Julia, yes I use a water-based resin to coat my pieces. This not only adds texture but makes them very strong and still quite flexible. Its important that they can survive being dropped, and if they get accidentally squashed then it's usually very easy to reshape them. I'm so pleased you like it. Linda.xx

So sorry to Linda it’s taken so long to review but been a difficult time family-wise. Absolutely adore the Red Fox sculpture, way beyond our expectations, beautifully crafted and a striking minimalist form which now sits proudly on full view as a centrepiece. It was lovely to also receive a gift from Linda - a spray of wirework flowers which look perfect in my small Alvar Aalto vase. Looking forward to adding a further piece as soon as I can.

I'm so pleased to receive your review. I have only made one fox in that style and I wanted to wait and see how it was received before I used that technique again, so I'm thrilled you are happy with him. I hope times get easier for you, I'm very lucky to be able to absorb myself in making. Much love, Linda.xx

I ordered five of Linda's sculptures. I purchased them because when looking for sculptures I saw these and thought they were beautiful. But when I received them I saw that I underestimated their beauty, they are absolutely exquisite!!!!!! Thank you, Linda
