Stephen M - I just wanted to take the time to thank you for getting my the Reilly Brown Prince of Power page I ordered out to me so quickly, I've been buying original art since I was thirteen and I've had a lot of experiences where I had to email an artist or dealer back and forth for weeks... It's really nice to get something so promptly. If you correspond with artists about their sales, please let Reilly Brown know it's one of the best looking pages I've purchased and I was proud to frame it on my wall. Stephen M.(PA) |
