 A number of previous customers and patrons have been kind enough to provide testimony about their experiences of having purchased and commissioned work from John Twinning. Gallery owners who have exhibited and sold John's work over the years also comment.  The Queen's College Oxford : Victor Segal commissioned a series of paintings and pencil drawings of his Oxford College and writes.... "I first came across the work of John Twinning in 1997 at the Singer Friedlander/Sunday Times Watercolour Competition exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London. On the strength of seeing this piece, I decided to commission John to produce a series of paintings and pencil drawings of my old college, The Queen's College, Oxford. I was greatly impressed with the results: John's mastery of detail, colour, light and shade is exemplary. I decided to help John with the production of a series of Limited Edition prints of the works which were sold and are still selling via the College. I am delighted to have the originals adorning my study walls. I am pleased to recommend John Twinning as an artist of the highest calibre who displays a standard of draughtsmanship rarely bettered."

Lee Abbey, Devon : Rita Ashman has purchased a number of prints from me including this one, from a series of Lee Abbey drawings... "Thank you, John, for your prompt response to my recent order for your detailed drawing of the front of 'Lee Abbey'. Your attention to detail is breathtakingly brilliant! It looks perfect alongside the other drawings that I purchased from you previously. I look forward to adding to my 'John Twinning' gallery in the not too distant future!"

St. Philip's Cathedral in Birmingham, painted in 1996 : David Gilbert, Director of the Driffold Gallery in Sutton Coldfield sold this magnificent example of John's work.... "The gallery has shown and sold original works by John for a quarter of a century. The meticulous technique and the integrity of his imagery is totally winning: shown to perfection in his 'St Philip's Cathedral from New Cannon Passage'. I was thrilled to pass this painting on a few years back to a Birmingham emigrant to Australia who could not resist its appeal." View this image in the Churches and Cathedrals section of the site. Reflections of Holywell :  Joe Newell comments on this, my most recent commission; which was the second of two paintings completed for him.... "I first became aware of the superb artwork of John Twinning when I received a card of his painting of the old Bridge in St. Ives, Cambridgeshire for my 87th birthday. I was so pleased and impressed with what I saw in the image on that card that I decided more or less immediately that I would like to commission John to paint two pictures of my home village of Holywell in Cambridgeshire. With the help of a computer-literate relative, I looked John up, found his website and made contact. After initial telephone discussions and written exchanges I met with John and we agreed that he would produce one picture of the much-loved Holywell Parish church and one of the beautiful thatched cottages of Holywell Front; one of which was where I spent my early school days. I am absolutely thrilled with the two paintings and have been pleasantly surprised to always be able to find one or two new details in each of them whenever I view them. I would be more than happy to recommend John to anyone as an accomplished artist of considerable talent." View this image in the Topographical section of the site.
