Below is my feedback on our commission:
We commissioned Sara to paint a London cityscape and we have just received the finished work. Every time I walk in to the room I look at it and it makes me smile. People that have visited us all say “wow” when they see it the first time. The colours are beautiful, happy and vibrant, the buildings are fantastic and the reflection in the water is just amazing. It has been a true pleasure getting to know Sara. She is very professional, both as an artist and a business woman, and a genuinely nice person to work with.

This is a recent testimonial from a project to supply original works of art a year ago.
“Sara Sherwood supplied and created art for our offices in Canary Wharf with New Art Gallery. With a clear understanding of interior design Sara offered art placement advice and came to our offices with a variety of paintings in order to get feedback and select from. Working with a team of executives she was able to come up with solutions that everyone liked: both cityscapes and abstracts. Some of the works of art were on commission, she met the brief and delivered in a timely way. Her paintings have been in our meeting rooms since January 2011 and are a constant source of inspiration and colour, evoking numerous comments from clients and employees. She captures London and other cities at their very best.
Her art is expressive, sophisticated and vibrant. The balance is perfect for an office environment and I am delighted we took the decision to purchase her art.”

I am working on a series of paintings for peace: so far I have “Peaceful London” and this is feedback from Sister Marion:
I think Sara’s idea for a peace project is wonderful. There is too much blasphemy, caustic provocation and sniggering in the world already and all it does is weigh people down. To radiate peace and joy will add to the peace and joy in the world. There isn’t enough of it. Sara’s paintings are full of peace and joy and are very uplifting. Tell her I am right behind her and will be praying hard. I would love to see her painting of the St Patrick’s Breastplate prayer when it is finished. The other name for the prayer is “The Deer’s Cry”
The painting of St Patrick’s Breastplate is done, see below: “The Deer’s Cry”

Happy Flowers was just sitting at a New Art Gallery, Barlylands without much feedback so I decided to give it a re-vamp. It is now called: Happy Flowers, icing is sweet.
I have shown it at Leadenhall market recently and it has had some amazing feedback, so I am pleased I re-painted it. I got some amazing effects, inspired by a commission for someone else of Fortnum and Mason. The layering of paint is really fun to do and the results give very powerful result. The texture draws you in to see more….
This one is still available 76x102cms @ ÂŁ1200 if you buy from me direct, (image no 94297)
