This floral watercolour looks great above the fire place, and I love the snippet of deep green behind it. Original painting 1.11.16 by Artist Sophie Huddlestone

Customer loved this Emerald Giraffe Print, framed at contactus 3.4.16 print by Artist Sophie Huddlestone

These two hand painted lavender flower pictures by Sophie Huddlestone, were in a Florist window display. Petite Fleur in Burbage, Leicestershire. We often forget our local shops while busy online.

In April 2016 a few of my art prints were soon sold out, in contactus shop in Leicestershire. I only sell the prints myself now. You can see the bunny and zebra in the window display, by Sophie Huddlestone.

Customer Helena said “love your paintings my home is looking like a Sophie Huddlestone gallery”. One original painting and two art prints, by Sophie Huddlestone.

Helena said “I’m such a fan, these pictures finish the look of our hall stairs and landing brilliantly” These three are art prints by Sophie Huddlestone.

This painting is in the Vision House Hinckley, it is a large original watercolour I did of a giraffe, with myself next to it. Sophie Huddlestone

Fab Swirls watercolour painting size A5 by Sophie Huddlestone, framed by the customer Gillian Sanders in a lovely square frame. It was a gift for her hubby from her kids, Rich loved it and was surprised as he thought someone else had bought it, he had viewed it several times and noticed ‘sold’ on it, he didn’t realise it was on its way to him, and he loves it.

This ‘Cool Zebra Zest’ art print went into a teenage boys bedroom, he thought it really was cool. The customer purchased the print and framed it themselves. Print 28.3.16 by Artist Sophie Huddlestone

Customer Karen delighted with this funny Cow print 14.1.17 by Artist Sophie Huddlestone. Karen Everest said “Mummy’s Christmas present all framed and ready to wrap. She is going to love it!” We became good friends via social media too, which is more rewarding than selling the paintings.

This trio of paintings were requested by the customer to hang in her home with previously purchased Sophie Huddlestone paintings. When the customer Charlotte saw them she said “of cause I want them, I need them (love heart emoji) You’re a star! Thank you so much”

Lovely customer Charlotte has framed three Sophie Huddlestone paintings together. These chicken watercolours were purchased from my sale paintings site swirlysoph.com and she has returned several times to purchase more, with requests for future paintings of insects and birds.

This 7″x5″ original painting looks beautiful with the simple wooden frame. The customer Charlotte adores it. She was thrilled to find this painting on one of the first Tiktok posts that I made (Tiktok Sophie Huddlestone @swirlysoph).

Customer Julie said “he loves his picture for his birthday”. This is the comfy kitten art print by Sophie Huddlestone.

Customer Susan has bought several paintings over the years. She said “I’ve always admired your art”, and went on to have a commission painting of her beautiful cats in 2020.

Fantastic pink frame the customer used for this hand painted unicorn rainbow watercolour by Sophie Huddlestone. Trixie said “thank you for making this lovely unicorn painting @creativemrsh” when her mum posted the photo on Instagram social media. I noticed on her social media she had drawn a stunning unicorn herself too, a future budding artist perhaps.

Baby Piglet watercolour painting purchased and framed by the customer. He said “Hi Soph, Loving the painting, I’ve framed it too, Dave”.

This customer purchased and framed the Unicorn Magic and framed it in a magical glistening frame. The customer sent this photograph to Sophie via messenger explaining that it was for her daughter as a birthday present. His daughter said “Thank you for my unicorn picture, I really like it with all the galaxy colours. His name is Blueberry I think”. The customer also sent me a photograph of a lovely hand written thank you note from this young lady and she even drew a unicorn on it. A future budding artist in the making.

Robin Cupcake by Sophie Huddlestone, this was from my swirlysoph.com bargains site, and the customer Joanna Mopert framed it in a beautiful textured deep brown frame. She said “Absolutely loving the Robin painting! Thank you so much. I love your style so much.”

Blue bird with cake, watercolour by Sophie Huddlestone, was purchased at my bargains site swirlysoph.com and customer Tracy Jay framed it in a distressed style cream frame, a beautiful shabby chic style. Tracy said “mine is a wilko frame. I love my painting”.

This painting was a birthday gift, and Lorna loved it, in a white frame from Marks & Spencer’s. Watercolour bird 7×5 inch by Sophie Huddlestone . Lorna said “I am the lucky recipient of this painting and I love it. Show it to all my visitors.”

Rocket Lollypop original painting by Sophie Huddlestone. Customer Paul Barnes framed this beautifully and sent me this photo via messenger, he wrote “I’m a Seascape, Surf Photographer living in Cornwall. And that I have a number of your watercolours, from I’m chuffed to own to hang on my walls”. I was very impressed by his photography website which is https://www.paul-j-barnes-photography.co.uk/ Enjoy the painting Paul and keep capturing those beautiful atmospheric moments with your photographs.

Poppies original painting by Sophie Huddlestone. A customer Paul Barnes wrote onto one of my Facebook posts and agreed to have it on here too. He said “I really like your work. Your watercolours are awesome!! And it’s not the first time I’ve bought one of your watercolours. As I’ve bought a few, not just for myself, but for family too. I’m ex military, and the poppies have a very personal connection, Thank you very much”. I was so thrilled to see the painting up and on the wall, it is so different to an artwork flat on a table while creating them. It certainly made my day. Thank you Paul.

On the wall is ‘Kitty Catcher’ by Sophie Huddlestone. The customer, Sarah Wood, framed the artwork and posted her photograph on to Sophie’s Facebook page (on the visitor’s posts section). Sarah commented “Floofus looks like the real life version of your painting!” It is always a real treat to see artworks in the customers homes, and a double bonus to see Floofus. I asked the customer if I could add the photograph to this page and was delighted when she said yes. What an amazingly beautiful cat Floofus is and with such a similar expression the resemblance is uncanny.

Customer Jeremy Green framed in a modern way to suit the cool decor. He simply said ‘Looks great hay’. Hare Art original watercolour by Sophie huddlestone.

Customer said ”My original Sophie painting was an alternative christening gift, not only was I delighted with the fun and mischievous Highland Cow, I was deeply touched by Sophie being so generous in spirit and including a note to my God Daughter, a rare treasure.
