Karen Collins Artist escape into a world of natural beauty through art

feedback from painting commissions and sales

Below you can read a selection of feedback from some of my customers who have purchased paintings.

January 2024 "A NEW DAY"

"We both love it! Thank you again. Ali was very impressed with the painting, after looking at it for a while we really noticed the bright pink undertones and both really liked how much it added to the landscape. We are moving the painting around the house to find a home ... My only regret is I wish I went with a larger size, it's just a fraction too small for most positions on the wall."

November 2023 "HEROS OF THE FLOODED CITY"

"Hi Karen,
It was lovely to meet you too. Thanks again for such a great job! It exceeded my expectations by far! ...
All the best to you and your family for Christmas"

March 2022 "GREEK SUNSET"
"Just to let you know, my wife got the painting today and absolutely loves it. It is on the wall already..."
- Steve

August 2021 "RESILIENCE"
"Karen - oh my - the painting looks absolutely fabulous!! The scene and the way painting is crafted is evocative on so many levels. It resonates so very strongly with me in terms of how I sense I have been shaped throughout life and the work that I do in my challenging area of practice. Thank you so much and all the best. Must keep in touch." 
- Roger

February 2021 "LOOKING TO LYNDESAY"
"I purchased ‘Looking to Lindesay’ for my wife. The painting captures the beauty of the Scenic Rim and Mount Lindesay under which her family lived for near 100 years. This painting brings the land across three States to our home in Melbourne and will be enjoyed by our family for the rest of our life. Thanks Karen"

- Kathryn and Claire

"... It has also been a pleasure dealing with you. Thank you very much for the time, effort and passion you put into the painting. It looks amazing and is probably the best and most personal present I have ever given someone. I’m a fan of your work and I’m sure it won’t be the last painting I buy or commission - I need to get orders in quick before you come out big :) ! 
Thanks again, Torben"
