Gail Reid Artist

Mar 31st, 2023

I met Gail when we both lived in the Middle East and have been able to follow her artistic journey both there and now when she moved back to UK a few years back. I wanted her to paint a memory from my time here in Dubai which I can keep forever. She was able to absolutely mimic the feeling and natural light falling in the right places and now I have my beautiful oil canvas in a very central place in our swedish summer house. Thank you Gail, its amazing work!

Gail is a very talented artist with a solid base in drawing, the fundamental element of any painting. She's super personable and will listen carefully to your requests and subsequently translate them into high quality portraits. Highly recommended.

I commissioned a painting of my granddaughter as a surprise gift for my daughter. I chose the photograph and asked Gail to do an oil painting. What was returned was absolutely wonderful! Gail kept me in the loop throughout.. several chats about what to keep in, change of composition etc.. but I was never in doubt about her ability to produce a fantastic painting. I wanted something that was masterful, meaning a painting rather than a portrait.. so involved lots of texture of fabrics , light and fabulous skin tones. My daughter and her partner were very emotional when they saw it on Christmas Day. I would recommend Gail as an extremely accomplished artist who can give you an honest and truely personal work that has something of herself in it. We loved the piece she did for us and are sure it will be treasured for many years to come. Thank you so much .

Gail is such a talented artist and I really appreciated how she constantly sent updates and information. It was a joy to watch her live YouTube streams of my how she created my dog portrait and to see the different stages and how it built up. A very professional, thorough and caring artist. I couldn't have been more excited to have received my artwork from her.
