· Great to see this lovely collection of paintings by Anthony, I have long enjoyed his work and other abstract painters who you would call your great friends, Gillian Agnes, Albert Irvin and all the others. This small show takes me to your inspiration and as Samuel Palmer says, your soul. I can’t afford but hope you sell some work – wonderful!

· I think it is beautiful
· Wow. I am blown away by Whishaw’s work. I could hear the branch cracking and swaying in Collapsing Tree, I felt like I was on a cliff edge looking out to sea and feeling the first drops of rain on my face in Approaching Storm. And I saw fear and hope
· intermingling in Night Coppice. I would buy them all if I had the money or a house!
· Loved this.
· Makes me wish I was an artist
· Truly beautiful work with so much movement and an understated use of colour. The blue in Sundown III is stunning, the movement in Bird Storm is amazing, and the quiet of winter is calming.

· I loved the painting ‘In the waves’
