Hi Sabine,

I finally received my amazing painting, and I must say its more beautiful than I imagined.
As soon as I unravelled all the layers and got a glimpse of the actual painting I was so excited to see those amazing colours. Thank you all your assistance and I will enjoy looking at this every day.

Kind regards

Hi Sabine,
I received the art work yesterday and am thrilled with it. Please pass on my delight and congratulations to the artist, Colleen Wallace Nungari - the pieces are beautiful. So much colour and depth, they are truly wonderful. Thank you also for the quick delivery, the care taken in packing the artworks and ease with which the purchase was done. I will be a return customer for sure.

Hi Juneta,
'Gouldian Finches' by Harold Thomas arrived this morning in good order.
Thanks very much to yourself and the staff at Central Art and also to Harold Thomas.
The painting will be a gift for my father who turns 70 this year and has been breeding
Gouldians for decades now in a large aviary with native plants and I'm sure he will really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Hi,
May I say thank you for the amazingly swift delivery of Sharon Hayes "Wildflowers" painting, which I only ordered on the weekend yet it arrived today.

The colours and precision of the artwork are identical to what is depicted on your website - it is beautiful.

I am very impressed and extremely happy with the painting as it is the first time (after much research) I have purchased artwork online.

Once again thank you.

Dear Sabine and Everyone else who helped,
Thank you for the painting that arrived safely today.
I love it & was moved to think that Betty Mbitjana painted it, so far away & from another life journey. The painting will be a connection one with the other.

Sincerely,

Dear Juneta,
The painting has arrived.

It is more beautiful than I had imagined. The depth and mix of colour and forms are so powerful and subtle and provide just what I was hoping for.

It is a wonderful work of art and even though it is not large it brings a timeless dimension and perspective of Australia that I have wanted for so long in my home.

I would love Kudditji Kngwarreye to know how fortunate I feel to have his painting in my home. Is this possible?

Now to get it mounted and permanently hung.

Thank you again to Sabine and you for your assistance.

Hello Sabine,

Thank you for the quick dispatch of the Sharon Hayes piece I recently purchased. It's lovely--can't wait to get it framed.I noticed Sharon is relatively new to this art, but she seems to have a good eye for colour and design. Is it possible to let me know when more of her pieces come available? Thanks again. Loved the certificate of authenticity with Sharon's photo on it. Very nice touch.

Sincerely,

Hi Sabina & Natalie

Just to let you know we received our artwork and love them! I will take pictures for you once they're stretched and on the wall just so you can see what they look like once hung!
Thanks so much. It was a pleasure to deal with both of you.

Have a good Christmas,

Dear Sabine,

Thank you for responding to my questions. I was unaware of the vast number of dialects, I knew of a few but not 250. We will not use the icon, showing respect for the aboriginal peoples culture and art.

I have seen a few examples of aboriginal art work in the United States, but it is difficult to know if what you are looking at is created by someone who is truly part of the aboriginal community and reflective of aboriginal culture or a representation of the culture by a non-indigenous person. I must say that the art work you have displayed on the website is remarkable and very expressive and the added information about food, culture and music to be a valuable educational resource.

Many thanks.

Dear Sabine,
Thank you so much for the quick delivery. It was a shame to open it but I just had to have a good look at the art work. Mr Blitner has signed it as well, I'm very happy with the purchase. I'll keep in touch with your website as I'd like a piece for myself.

Keep up the good work.

Dear Sabine
Just thought I'd let you know that the painting has arrived and is really beautiful. I love all the photos etc. that were sent with it too. Also, I'm sure my relative who is contributing towards it (for my birthday) will love it as well.

My daughter (aged 16) loves it, she's doing Art at school and is also very keen on Aboriginal Art.

Thank you very much for your wonderful service, it has arrived with lots of time for me to frame it before my birthday.

With kindest regards to you all in Central Art - Aboriginal Art Store

Hello
I just wanted to tell you that i am so inspired by the quality and beauty of work on your website, as well as the informative information about the artists and work.

I am an art teacher working near London. I am researching work to show my students with special needs. I am so happy to see the strength of symbolism still alive in this contemporary aboriginal work.

It is a relief to see that in 2009 the painters connection with their ancient homeland still shines through.

Sincere thanks

Just wanted to let you know I received my painting yesterday and I am indeed very pleased! I like looking at the scene and knowing what it depicts…it is very lovely…I am just so sorry that I did not get the opportunity to purchase the other one.

I will keep watch on when more of Trephina’s work is posted.

Many thanks for your assistance and I have to say the way in which your business is run and handled is exceptional…there should be more business like yours!

I am sure my friends will become your clients!!! Thanks for the documents and pictures , it helps a lot to understand the artist and there creation and dreaming story

Hello Sabine,
Just a report on the progress of our Gloria Petyarre (#0604436).

It arrived safely about noon on Thursday. I took it straight to the framers that afternoon, and can you believe was called to pick it up, beautifully stretched, the next day. Yesterday (Saturday), I hung it in the best position and there it is in all its glory! A remarkably quick and satisfying turn around considering it was a rolled canvas in a tube in the Alice on Wednesday.

We love its warm colours and classy style.

We have appreciated your advise, professionalism and efficiency.
If you get the opportunity please pass on to Gloria how much we appreciate this painting.

Thanks and regards,
Garry and Win Wood.

Dear Sirs,
I am glad to tell you, that the Aboriginal painting bought early November arrived today.
Everything is ok; the picture is beautiful and arrived "safe and sound".

I can only say that the whole process starting with purchasing and ending with the delivery was handled by you absolutely professional in any way.
Perfect work! Thanks again.

Hello again,
No sooner did I hit send on that last email when my doorbell rang. It was my postal carrier with the painting!

Thank you very much. My wife will be quite excited. Don't be at all surprised when you hear from us again.

Do you have any recommendations for framing? I know better than to do something like this myself, but thought you might be able to give me an idea of what you've done or seen in the past.

Thanks again

Dear Sabine,
I just received the painting today.

It is fantastic. I am thrilled!

I am actually getting ready to buy more art from your site!

If you have artwork not already posted on your site, or if you are about to receive new art pieces, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

Hi Sabine,
I received the painting this morning, and I love it – thank you very much.

I can’t wait to give it to my husband when he gets home from work this afternoon :-). We saw a house in another home magazine last night that had a collection of Dorothy’s pieces and my husband commented again how much he loves her black and white pieces....I smirked and thought how I couldn’t wait for him to see our painting!

Thank you also for the receipts, photos, certificate and biography and for the lovely notebook!
Can you please tell me what painting is depicted on the ‘with compliments’ note that you sent?

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Sabine,
Just wanted you to know that I received the Ronnie Tampitjinpa in perfect condition.
Thanks so much for all your diligence.

I’m having it stretched at the moment and looking forward to getting it back!
I’ll then have 3 pieces, the Dorothy, Ronnie and a smaller Gloria Petyare.
Next challenge is figuring our where to hang the Ronnie. It is larger than I thought! ;0

Cheers,
Mark

Dear Sabine,
It was a pleasure to visit the website again, and of course to buy another painting. The new website is great. It's really helpful to be able to browse by category, size and price, not to mention by artist. I've just dropped off the Gloria Petyarre painting we bought a while ago to the framers and recommended your site while I was there as they very much admired the painting.
