Scout - pet portrait dog painting

"Chris has recently painted the most amazing picture of my Sister's dog Scout. It was a present for my Sister's birthday and she was over the moon. We are all so grateful and can not recommend Chris enough. He was quick to respond and kept me updated at every stage which was very much appreciated."
- Michelle Yates, Wales

Painting of west wales framed and on the wall

"It was a really enjoyable experience seeing Chris bring my photograph to life. He offered sound advice throughout and gave me options I wouldn't have considered to enhance the finished product - this made it feel very personal. Very clear communication throughout. I am thrilled with the end result as is my wife as it was a gift for her - see accompanying photo. I would highly recommend."
- Kevin, Buckinghamshire, UK.

oil painting of nepalese basket girl with a dog sitting next to it

"I thought I'd email you as I have probably one of your most beautiful paintings, I guess I'd say that because I'm biased. I bought the beautiful Nepalese Basket Girl way back when I visited an art shop in Cardigan. I absolutely fell in love with the painting as soon as I saw it. There isn't a single person I know of who hasn't admired the painting when visiting my home. Even a Baroness from the Houses of Lords admired it during a zoom meeting. "
- Nerindra, Derbyshire, UK.

Many thanks again."
- Martin & Gill, UK.

welsh prints of llangrannog and west wales hanging on the wall

"I have my prints framed and on the wall now - photo attached as promised. I love the prints, and for me they are telling a story.... I will always choose the path less travelled, and walking the Ceredigion Coastal Path was just such an adventure; quiet, beautiful and completely unspoiled. Then the afternoon stroll is clearly myself making my way home....! So thank you for these - I am really delighted with them, as you can tell."
- Rosemary Pritchard, Wales, UK

"Thanks you so much, Chris, we are delighted with our painting of Ty'n Cornel."
- Elenydd Wilderness Hostels, UK

framed prints of Wales

"After you left, I had a really good look at the pictures, I decided that it would be a shame not to have at least one hanging where I can see it and gain so much pleasure from it straight away, so I have managed to put 'Cenarth' in the dining area. It does look lovely, it really does, what a talent you have."
- Sandra Griggs, UK

Happy client with her framed paintings

"Hi Chris, I'd been scouring the internet looking for quality art, occasionally I liked one or two pieces out of an entire artist's collection. In sharp contrast I came across your work which I adore so much, after two trips to your south Wales studio and eight original "Chris Chalk" paintings later, my living room walls are festooned with large inspired and relaxing pieces of landscape artwork."
- Karen Jackson, UK

Client with their framed Scottish painting

"David was thrilled with your beautiful painting of Camusdarach Beach, between Arisaig and Morar in the West Highlands of Scotland. Camusdarach is one of David's favourite places, however as he now lives in New Zealand's South Island, he rarely has the chance to visit. Thank you, Chris, for creating such a gorgeous landscape of this beautiful and special place."
- Angela Taylor, New Zealand.

Print of Mwnt, Ceredigion

"Beautifully presented, looks almost like the original piece of work, the colours are superb but mostly, it reminds me of my buddies who I was fortunate enough to spend a few lovely days with and this picture will always remind me. You have a wonderful talent at capturing that raw presence and beauty of Ceredigion."
- Karen Berisford, UK.

Client with their two framed originals

"The latest of many visits to my beloved Pembrokeshire, I have returned to Gloucestershire with two very contrasting mood pictures to help to draw me back. Pentre Ifan with its cloudy sky and glimpses of Carn Ingli and the sea at Newport connects me with the history and spirituality of the area. The Parrog at Newport with Dinas Island in the background is just full of happy family memories. Thank you, Chris."
- John Taylor, UK.

Client and their Newport Painting

"The painting was received a few days ago, and we both love it. It's a calm scene, yet it has interest to discover as your eyes settle on the smaller details, and the texture of the paint is also very well done. Colors are wonderful and true to reality. I think John will be touched beyond belief that I went all the way to Wales (electronically speaking) to buy this for him. Tomorrow is our anniversary."
- Barbara Breen, U.S.A.

Client with their print of 'Summer at Strumble'

"Hiya Chris, Just wanted to say that I received the print of 'Summer at Strumble' from Catrin Rotie today. She wouldn't let me wait til next week to open it lol. What a beautiful scene and what a great 30th Birthday present. It's where myself and my partner went walking at Strumble when we first starting seeing each other, so it means a lot. Can't wait to get it framed and on my living room wall."
- Laura Jones, UK

"Thank you so much for the beautiful painting, I absolutely love it, and it is the first piece of artwork I have ever owned. You have brought Scotland home to me!"
- Kali Crofts, Queensland, Australia.

"I'd been admiring Chris' work for months before I bought the 'boy monk' painting. Once I'd decided which painting I wanted, Chris sent him straight away. It's a wonderful painting and looks great without a frame (for now!). He's been in most of the rooms of the house although seems settled now at the top of the stairs. Thanks Chris :)"
- Allegra Gee, Bournemouth, England, UK.

"The painting arrived a couple of days after you posted it and it is a fabulous painting. I am extremely pleased with it. The picture on the website doesn't really do it justice. In real life the colours are a lot more vibrant with what looks like real whiskers and fur, as well as those eyes that follow you around. One very happy bunny"
- David Altham, Chorley, Lancashire, UK.

"I received the print this morning and it's even more beautiful in real life than on the website! It was a present for my dad and he loves it too! Thank you again, so much."
- Annabel James, Haverfordwest, Wales, UK.

"Hi Chris Just to let you know the painting and print arrived on the weekend but I was away so picked them up today. Very pleased with the painting, think our family friend will love it as a birthday present so thank you very much! And my Mum loves the print as well! Will be in touch in the future...quite fancy a coastline at some point, possibly Newgale!"
- Sian Wynne, Cardiff, Wales, UK.

"Hi Chris, Just letting you know that we received the print on Fri.....Thanks very much! We love it! Have a great Christmas"

"Hi Chris, I have been anxiously awaiting for my painting to arrive in the mail...you weren't wrong about the 2wks it took for it to arrive I couldn't contain my excitement as I collected...I absolutely love this painting, the colours just scream out at you when u look at it, you are very talented and it shows in your paintings, the way you blend the colours...to bring the painting to life...thanks for my 'Autumn Forest Walk'....one can marvel at it for hours."
- Rita M, Sydney, Australia.

"Hi Chris, Just to let you know that both the painting and my receipt turned up safely yesterday. Once again Thanks to you and Anne for your kind assistance. When I am next in the area I will certainly call into the gallery. We look forward to dealing with you in the future. Kind regards."

A huge thank you, I will get it framed now and we will be presenting it on Friday next week, to the retiring chairman of British Lung Foundation Wales. I am sure he will be delighted with it."
- Margaret Barnard, Neath, South Wales, UK.
