Claire Thomas

Dear Claire. It was lovely to see you on the Art Trail and your latest paintings. As always you have produced some stunning works - well done! What a fantastic opportunity to be able to go to Austrailia and New Zealand and be able to record your visit in such a distinct way, those images will be with you forever. Looking forward to your next project. All the best, Susan.

Hello Claire, I just thought I'd have a quick look at your blog and saw that you'd been to the Tate Watercolour exhibition. Hugo and I went a couple of weeks ago and guess what , we bought a copy of Melville's Blue Night, Venice for our bathroom, the first paintling you mention! I totally agree it is a great little exhibition and not too crowded even on the Friday night we went. It also has some works on loan from Kew. Yes, everyone should try to visit. See you soon.

Dear Claire, What an amazing collection of really lovely work, I particularly loved the ones you did while you were away in NZ and Oz As the other Juliet has said, how do you find the time and teach and put on exhibitions and be a wife and mum and.............! Love from us both, Juliet x

These are really beautiful Claire I am amazed at hpw much you have done as well as teaching us and putting on our exhibition. Can't wait to see more of these for real! J

Wow Claire, you have been busy! Love your landscapes.particularly 'free wheelin' but especially love Carolines' abstract and the dog (is that their old dog?). (Jude Law's looking pretty great aswell).
Keep it up - KATE XX

Love your New Zealand paintings, really beautifully painted.

I was just looking for my old school freind claire Thomas who I went to Handcross Park School in Sussex with back in '74 and happened upon your site. I considered myself a "some sort of artist" and wanted you to know you really so have a gift. I love your style and medium.

Are you selling? If so do you have a gallery or is it all on line?

Hi Claire
Only 12 1/2 weeks until my trip to UK - if you visit my blog page and go to my View profile there is a link for my email address...... can you let me know your email address... I only have your message sitting on Friends Reunited which of course doesn't allow me to email you directly .... or perhaps if it's easier can you leave the info as an email on the Friends Reunited site?

I only live 3 doors away and noticed the banner for DAW, I just looked at your
online gallery and think your work is wonderful!
Maybe if I keep trying I might be half as good, which is another way of saying
that your work has inspired me too!
Best Regards,

Russ

Thankyou Sally and Nick!
Yes, Freewheelin' is exactly what Kay, Cindy and I would do on our bikes! But, Sally - on a go-cart? Did your brothers push you?!!! Lovely to hear from you - keep looking!xx

Hi Claire
I was taken back by your work and finding myself running your slides over and over again, Brilliant! The Landscape "Freewheelin" made me smile bringing back a childhood memory of coming down Okeford Hill on a goal cart!

See you soon
Sally and Nick
