A special thank you for two wonderful commissions of different cottages in Lowndes Buildings, one from a family to celebrate a very special birthday. One from friends who let me share the love for the cottage and who have supported my work. Thank you to Emily Richards and Annmarie Hutchins for allowing me to paint their unique and very precious cottages.

“Absolutely delighted with Judgement Day. What started out as a gift for my parents turned into a double order as I loved it so much. Susie has captured the spirit of my girl beautifully. Dad’s first words on opening his gift was ‘the eyes are perfect. They follow you around the room’.”

Suzanne Bayliss

Commissioned painting, Judgement Day

“Thank you so much for the beautiful print of St. Andrews church I received. From the moment it was unwrapped, it was clear how special it was. The way Susie captured St. Andrews church brought back wonderful memories for my parents when they were married there 60 years ago. I’ll never forget how my mother reacted when she first saw it, it was beautiful.

Working with Susie has been an absolute delight and so many thanks for making their 60th wedding anniversary truly special.”

I’m absolutely delighted with my dragonfly that Susie kindly painted for me. She listened to why dragonflies are important to me, and absolutely bought that into my commission. Everyone who has seen it has commented on the extraordinary depth of very delicate and precise detail. I’m already lining Susie up for another commission.”

“Thank you so much, Susie. I was overwhelmed when I saw the finished picture of Daisy, and found it very moving. It will be very much cherished in the family, as she is a very special dog and friend to us. The painting will hang in our home in Selsey, the beach that inspired the painting!”

So pleased with it and even better in the flesh. Many thanks for the prompt delivery and the enjoyment I will get from the beautiful picture.”

“On a visit to Madrid we came across Casa Alberto, one of the oldest Tapas Bars in the city, taking a photograph and within minutes thinking if Susie would do a painting, thinking it might give her a challenge. How wrong I was, she jumped at the chance, producing a masterpiece. The work is now hanging on our wall with a number of other works by her, all loved and appreciated by us and anyone who comes to visit.”

I had long admired Susie’s beautifully detailed work of Farnham’s lovely old buildings, passageways, and cottages on her Facebook page. I always looked forward to seeing her new commissions taking shape, at first with pencil, and just love the way the brickwork is painted in. One of these started to look very familiar to me. I then realised it was the very house I was born in “Tannery House” in Bridge Square, Farnham.

Of course I really wanted it for myself and contacted Susie and asked if I could buy the original. Apparently a lady had already asked for it, so it seemed I would have to settle for a print. A little while later I was overjoyed when Susie contacted me to say there had been a change of circumstances and the painting was mine if I wanted it. Of course I said yes. It is a stunning painting at which I never tire of looking.

Susie is a lovely person and so helpful in the buying process. I collected my painting from Susie’s studio which was great to look around. Thank you once again Susie for bringing back these lovely memories for me.

“Having called in to view an exhibition of Susie Lidstone’s paintings being held in the New Ashgate Gallery, we purchased the most wonderful watercolour of Farnham Castle in the snow. Our son was marrying in December in the castle thus it proved to be an ideal family wedding gift. Susie was painting as we selected our piece so we could see her at work and as well as being a versatile and extremely talented artist she is a delightful lady.

Many of Susie’s watercolours illustrate aspects of Farnham town, including its fascinating alleys, and she paints stunning arrangements of flowers. We also were able to buy cards of the Castle painting to send pre-Christmas.

Do go and see her paintings if you get the opportunity and you will be rewarded.”

“I approached Susie to commission a picture for my friends 50th birthday. Susie used the photo I provided to produce an amazing painting which captured the beauty and vibrancy of a holiday location very special to my friend. Susie is so skilled and I am delighted with the end result. I know my friend will be thrilled to have such a gorgeous piece of art. Thank you Susie!

“I ordered three sets of ‘Spring Cards’ from Susie Lidstone and was very impressed with their early arrival. The cards are absolutely beautiful and were wonderfully presented, each separate pack tied with a ribbon and a lovely motif attached to each ribbon. I really appreciated the time and thought which had gone into this and will definitely be shopping with Susie again.

“I first saw Susie’s art as it was shared on a Facebook group I was a member of and I immediately fell in love. Her command of colour and composition are perfectly suited to my style and I immediately contacted her asking if I could purchase a print of her ‘Hydrangeas’.

Susie has been a joy to correspond with and I was thrilled to receive my print a short while later. Susie was kind enough to meet me half way to hand over the print. The Hydrangeas are now hanging proudly in my bedroom, I am so fond of them, and of Susie as a person, that we have talked about at least one future commission. Hopefully more! I look forward to seeing her art always and can’t wait to have an original in my home!

We love the painting of “Four Seasons” that Susie has worked so hard on. It makes the perfect final touch to our newly decorated bedroom and we were so delighted that she came to deliver the painting to us.

Geoff and I are utterly thrilled with Susie’s work. She is a renowned Farnham artist and the painting will help us recall treasured memories of our time in Farnham.
