The painting just arrived - LOVE it !!! The colours are beautiful, really earthy and exactly what I was after ( how do you do it ??!) . It will look perfect in our wee cottage.

I cannot wait to see them on my lounge wall. My room is very modern with white walls, beige carpet and soon to arrive white and ivory leather Barcelona chairs. Your art work will fit in perfectly. I will send you a picture when they are in situ.

Hello Rachel

Yes, it arrived today.

And we absolutely love it.

We really couldn't have asked for anything better. Just beautiful. It
makes our favourite room in the house even more perfect.

Thank you.

 Dear Rachel

It's arrived and I love it!

I have been looking for ages for a painting for the hall and not been successful until now.

Thank you so much.

It is not going up yet as hall is being redecorated in few weeks and I want to 'save' it until then.

I do hope to be able to commission another one from you one day.

I will certainly keep your cards and recommend you to others.

Very best wishes

Helen

 

P.S.  Isn't the internet absolutely amazing - how we were able to achieve this without even meeting face to face!  If you come to Bushey to pick up your car - pop in and see your work in my house.

Dave loves your work as much as I do and when I showed Cavan (our son who`s 3)"Dantes dream" he said "wow, mummy its beautiful" also I have a confesion to make, I cant part with" J`adore" either as I have found a great place for it and it works perfectly with "Three of a kind" so Im afraid its going to have to stay! "Memories" fills me with sunny days and cycling and "st Johns wave" has pride of place and takes my breath away every time I enter the room. One might say "I`m a very happy bunny". It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and I`m sure I wont be able to stay away for too long, so many, many thanks, keep up the good work and keep me posted!! Ali.

Northern Lights has arrived and looks fabulous on the wall. The colours are exactly what we were hoping for and more - so vibrant - and it even looks great in low light as the light thru' our roof velux seems to catch all the silver bits so it looks like a meteor shower. Thank you so much again for painting it for us - we really couldn't be happier with it and are so glad we decided to commission you.

Lawrence and Trish McGregor

We have a number of Rachels paintings adorning our walls in our dental practice and at home. They are always greatly admired and soften the clinical environment at work. 

Lucille and Paul Palmer

"Rachel has been exibiting at the Artshed for some 4 years now, with tremendous success. Rachel's style has grown from bold colourful flowers and vegetables to more considered and flamboyant abstracts. Rachel has no inhibitions and loves to explore and experiment with medium and size. Her energetic presonality exudes through her work."

Lynn Andrews, Proprietor Artshed (Ware) Ltd

"We are extremely proud and honoured to display this wonderful work of art. Rachel has provided us with an eye catching painting for our waiting room in our Dental Surgery.It is fresh and contemporary , bold yet uncomplicated in design ,which is exactly what we required for our clinical surroundings.What is more it is a perfect colour match for our Surgery's theme colour. Rachel has a particularly good eye for colour matching as well as progressive ideas for adapting to specific needs.She works with you to produce a masterpiece you will cherish for years to come.

Our painting has been the much admired centre of attention in our waiting room."

Dr Sushma Klausen, Stanstead Abbots Dental Care

"Rachel has a wonderful sense of colour and her use of various materials, especially in her relief studies, shows in all her works. We enjoy several of her pictures and have given one of poppies on slate to our cousins in Flanders, Belgium, which has been greatly admired."

John Meeus

"This modern abstract has a wonderful tranquillity and yet sparkles with life as sunshine or artificial light catches its various surfaces. It looks beautiful on the original brick wall of the sitting room in our 17th century farmhouse where it goes harmoniously with 19th and 20th century water colours and modern sculpture."

Professor Sandra File

"As a surprise Christmas gift in 2008, my husband commissioned Rachel to paint our two dogs from photographs. Not only did she produce a stunningly accurate portrait of them but, more importantly, she captured their spirit and nuances – our Lurchers’ pleading “feed me” eyes and the slightly shy but playful head tilt of our Collie. In fact when I unwrapped the portrait on Christmas Day both dogs trotted up, tails wagging to greet the “newcomers”.

Everyone who has come into our house has stopped to admire the portrait and commented on the fact that Rachel has caught the essence of both dogs along with the colours and textures of their coats and even the smallest detail of their markings has not been omitted. I truly love this portrait and even nearly a year on I still find myself smiling at them half expecting their tails to start wagging."

Siobhan D Dodrill Rees

"I have followed Rachel's artistic career from the beginning and it never ceases to amaze me how her work can go off in such exciting directions. Her use of colour and texture is inspiring and gives her work a real depth. Without Rachel's beautiful artwork on my walls my house would be a far duller place to live."

Katie Goldthorpe

"We have been buying Rachel's work ever since we discovered it: and enjoy it immensely. She has great talent and has developed a unique style. We have found her pictures look good in both modern and period settings and particularly liked our latest acquisition (Holkham Beach) - as it catches so magically the spirit and atmosphere of a place we know well and love." 

Mike Thomas

"The moment I saw this picture, barely finished, in Rachel's studio I fell in love with it. The beautiful use of colour is so uplifting and I admire it every day."

Sally Daley

"Hot, Hot, Hot!

Only Rachel would give such a contemporary twist to such a mundane chilli. It adds so much colour and warmth to the white walls of my conservatory."

Catherine Good

"My mum bought a giraffe painting which I know she really loves. I think it reminds her of being in Africa where she married my daddy. I love how graceful and alive the giraffe seems on the picture. It's like I'm on safari watching him."

Isaac Uwins (age 11)

"My mummy bought my big brother and I the penguins and polar bear painitings for Christmas last year. They are in our bedroom and it feels like the animals are in there with us when we go to bed. I love the colours and how alive the penguins seem."

Solly Uwins (age 8)

"Rachel's work really speaks to my heart and soul. My first painting from her was a wonderful big red shapely chilli which resides over my bed. It's depth of colour and boldness of the strokes really resonates with my senses and gives me energy each time I cast my eye over it.

I think rachel is a creative genius and she's right in the heart of our wonderful community. How lucky are we."

Claire Uwins (Solly and Isaac's Mummy, age 44)

"Rachel M. McCullock is a very talented artist. Her work is vibrant and engaging. Rachel's appreciation of colour and texture is evident across a broad spectrum of styles, in a diverse range of media. More recently innovative designs have put her work in a league of its own."

Janet McCauseland
