Dear Clinton,
Thank you so much for the painting. It's fantastic. I just picked it up
from the framers today. Doug’s going to be thrilled. I don't think he has
any idea at all. I'm enclosing a photocopy, at my expense as a thank you,
it's slightly smaller than the original, but I hope it's Okay. Many
thanks, again. I'm sure we will be in touch again once Doug’s seen it.

be hearing from us again in the future... Many thanks once again, both for
the quality of the picture, and also for the speed with which I received
it.
Best regards.

everything is quite brilliant.
Very many thanks
Tricia Samways
Dear Clinton,
I apologize for the delay in writing, my only excuse, Wedding
preparations. Well the big day was last Saturday. Having planned the
picture and sorted the photographs, I was delighted with it when it
arrived. But to you should have been there on Saturday, the ‘Oh’s’ and ‘Oh
looooook’ attracted so much attention it became the topic of conversation.
The newlyweds would not believe that you had not actually visited their
home on some occasion. And their likeness were so good, even down to their
expressions, ( not even captured on the photos I sent)- they were
stunning.
I'm sure that it will be hung in pride of place and it will be shown to
everyone and talked about for many years. Thank you so much from all of
us, it was brilliant, and was all I was hoping it would be.
Thanks again and all best wishes
Lynda Newbery.
Dear Clinton,
Thanks for the commission. Everyone liked it very much and Don was very
pleased. Thanks for doing it at short notice for us.
Best wishes
Janet Denny
Dear Clinton,
We were delighted with the picture, please keep us posted as to your
whereabouts, good luck with the move.

Dear Clinton,
Many thanks for the picture. My favourite bit is the dogs, very accurate…
Many thanks

Dear Clinton,
Thank you very much for the wonderful painting of the house and family. It
will take pride of place in the house.
Pip Sugarbread.
Dear Clinton,
We received the painting yesterday, you are a very talented man, it is
superb.
Many thanks
Malcolm and Christine Dale.
Dear Clinton,
At last we have the picture back from the framers and hanging in pride of
place in our family room. We were worried about it's getting damaged, so
literally took it in and to be framed the same day we received it from
you. Due to its size, we had to wait for a special mount board to be
ordered, and we also requested U.V. filtered glass to try to preserve the
colours. But these and the sheer size of the end result are what has taken
a so long. But now we have it and we are absolutely delighted with it. We
were all literally speechless when we first opened it and as we gradually
took been all the detail you had managed so skilfully to include. Kevin is
thrilled with his anniversary present, and loves the style of drawing and
painting that you use. Everyone that has seen it so far thinks it is
brilliant, and this weekend we will be like a private viewing where many
friends and family are coming over to celebrate Abigail’s 5th Birthday.
Your ears will be burning! Thank you so much for all the hard work, skill
and patience, we now have a unique reminder of our house and will have
only to look at it during the colder months to remind us of how nice
everything looks in the summer. Hope all is going well with your new home,
don't forget to send some tickets to the Christmas show if you are given
any. Else, let me know when and where it is on. I’d love to see the
painting being shown off on your stand. Many, many thanks.
Kind regards
Vee Rawson.
Clinton,
Thank you so much for the illustration, I will be back to you again.
Kind regards
Amie Read.
Dear Mr Banbury,
Just a note to express my delight with your cartoon of my husband a very
original, ‘This is your life!!!’ I'm looking forward to his reactions on
Christmas Day, I'm sure he will be speechless, very unusual for a judge!!!
Thanks a lot, and a very happy Christmas. I'm sure there will be repeat
orders!
Yours sincerely
Leslie Taylor.
Dear Mr Banbury,
Thank you for returning the photos, and indeed the picture itself. It is
great, I love it and I know, my husband will be chuffed to bits...
Sarah Leeda.
Clinton Banbury,
Thank you for sending the painting. We received it on Wednesday, and are
very pleased with it. Thank you so much. I'm sure my parents will be
thrilled when they see it.... Thank you, I am sure we will be in touch
again.
Jackie Morgan.
Clint,
Just a quick message to say thank you, for the picture, which arrived
today, along with my valentine cards! I'm so pleased with it, and am sure
that my sisters will agree. It is a joint present from us for our parent’s
40th anniversary, and I'm sure that they will be thrilled and surprised
when they see it. I will certainly be recommending you to my friends for
their special family occasions in the future. Thank you, the again,
best wishes

Sue Hostcombe, Fulwood Hall
Dear Clinton,
May I take this opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ for commissioning the
painting of Maydale Farm for Joyce's 40th birthday. Joyce was a
breathless, when she opened it, and Charlotte and William love it. My
first reaction when I opened the parcel was, ‘wow! wonderful!’. To say I
was pleased with it was an understatement, in fact, I was over the moon
with it. I was very impressed with the quality of the painting, and the
accuracy of all the characters in it. It is a living picture, which has
pride of place in our lounge. Again may I say a big thank you for
commissioning the picture, especially at such short notice.
Yours Faithfully
Andrew James.
One very satisfied customer.
P.S. I like the cheeky fox peeping round the chicken hut!
Dear C B
It’s brilliant! The sunbathing, Dominoes, Newspaper, Drink. It's him to a
‘T’. You have a real gift in the way you have captured our expressions and
postures. We will get a lot of pleasure, and amusement from looking at it,
thank you very much, it's lovely.
Yours sincerely
Olive Kitts, The Old School House
Dear Clinton,
Just writing to say, how thrilled my husband was with the painting of our
house... It is really fantastic and totally captures exactly how we are at
the moment, even down to the markings on the spaniel! All our friends
think it's wonderful too so you might have some more commissions from us!
With best wishes
Jane Wallis, North Cottage, Pounds Farm.
Dear Clinton,
You are a star! I'm so thrilled with the pictures of everyone. I've framed
them with mounts to bring out one of the colours and they look $1 million.
My husband was so taken by them. He asked whether he was getting one. He
will get such a surprise when he sees his present won’t he? I shall be in
touch next year to arrange a special one of him alone, and I've already
thought of a few more friends and family who would appreciate your
talents! I will give you more notice next year, that's a promise. You did
an excellent job, and so quickly. I can’t get over how well you captured
everyone, as for my parents... You must be close personal friends. It's
them. How we laughed! They're sailing around the Caribbean on an oil
tanker or for Christmas!
Thank you
Diana Dalwhinnie ,Oak Grange Road
Dear Clint,
As I guessed when I first saw you work at the Norfolk show 1998 I knew I
had found not only a fantastic artist, but the perfect present to give
friends and family for Christmas. I was right. Because this year every one
of the five pictures I gave were an enormous success. Everyone was so
impressed and all said and my present was by far the best! Clint, thank
you so much for the cracking pictures, and also for the speed for which
you did them. I will be spreading your name and around Norfolk.
Yours sincerely
Lucy Youngs, Willow cottage.
Dear Clinton,
This is to let you know that I was so thrilled with the watercolour of our
house and family that I had to give it to my husband, the day it arrived.
I had intended to keep it a secret for his birthday, but that idea fell by
the wayside! My daughter was most impressed, and I think she will be in
touch. Thank you for returning the photos.
Yours sincerely
Ann Chumeston, Highgate.
Dear Clinton,
We gave granddad his picture at the weekend and although he was obviously
pleased with it, it wasn't until the day after that he really had the
chance to have a good look at it.... He say‘s that and the more he looks
at it, the more he sees, so it was very successful, and he is very pleased
with it.
Best wishes, and thanks again.
Frances McGregor.
Dear Clinton,
I write to thank you for my wonderful picture you drew for my father.
Unfortunately, my father suddenly passed away during the period of you
painting the picture for him. My father was a very jolly and liked man,
and the resemblance off him in your portrait is superb. I know that he
would like the picture. And I can now look at it in my own time, and
remember him in a very unique way. May I thank you for portraying a very
special person for me in a very special way. With Thanks.
Dear Mr. Banbury,
... We are all really pleased with the picture and can’t wait to present
it to Mum and Dad.
Lois Parris, Ipswich.
Dear Clinton,
... Edward wasn't sure whether he liked his shooting picture, probably
because he looks fat in it! But I liked it!
Thank you.
Anna Cherry-Dowes.
Dear Clinton,
Thank you for being so prompt. It is a Christmas Prezzie, and I'm sure
that the two Henry’s will think it's cool.
Regards
Rebecca.
Dear Clinton Banbury,
Thank you for the lovely painting... This painting is going to make my
cousin very happy.
Thank you.
Mrs B.A.Barnes.
Dear Clint,
Very many thanks for the cartoon of the Irish Water Spaniel, Deacon
Broadbean. I felt I had to send copy of my friends’ thank you note, just
to let you see for yourself. the happiness, you brought. All the best for
2000, and thanks a million. Penny Diamond. [Note says; Penny, Such a
lovely, gift and what a surprise. Lots of smiles, and laughs from all of
us. Hanging in pride of place above the Aga].
