Review posted 16 May 2017

I received this little painting today from Preston in LA. It is a small diptych in a hinged frame, one side red-based, the other blue and similar in style to a series of Preston's larger works. I love it. It is colourful (or 'colorful'!), unique and cheerful. The painting has a depth and sheen as it is painted on glass. I am looking at it, on my mantlepiece as I write this and it makes me smile. Definitely a great investment for me - so much so, that I have now bought a bigger piece - which I know I will also love when it arrives. There was some delay receiving the picture and Preston was concerned and involved in trying to track what was going on. It transpired that this was due to Customs hold-ups in the UK. Although this was one of his smallest (and cheapest) art-works, Preston could not have been more helpful or responsive if it had been his most expensive piece - and his kindness and humour ('humor'?) have been such that the delay has been enjoyable. And the fact that an artist has proved such a pleasure to have contact with just enhances a painting and makes it more special. So thank you very much Preston - it is appreciated, as is your lovely little painting!

Claire, Thank you so very kindly for such an amazing review! You were such a joy to correspond with throughout this process (that is still ongoing)! :) It truly has been a pleasure! Ha ha, I love that you did the "American spelling" on that. It makes me happy to know that my art is in such a loving home and is appreciated and it has been nice sharing some stories and laughs with you along the way. I hope that we keep in contact! Thank you again Claire. :) Your L.A. friend, Preston

I love this painting! It is a stunning little jewel, even better in hand. I have been moving it around with me since I unwrapped it. It just glows at night with ambient lighting! Preston was a delight to communicate with and was most kind, gracious and cheerful. Both the art and the artist warm your soul. Thank you for sharing your gifts!

Absolutely bowled over with this piece. Preston has been a pleasure to deal with and all went super-smoothly. I will definitely be following Preston's work in the future, much to the disappointment of my bank manager!! 10 out of 10.
