"Yes, Buddha arrived safely!  (Quite a packing job, like a mummified Buddha.)

He is wonderful and a magnificent casting!  I stare at it a lot, looking at the details.  The face is perfect.  It has a big presence (bigger than I imagined), and not only because of the size.  Thank you so much for creating this.  I'm sure it will bring much peace into my home and to everyone who sees it.  It already has."

Hi Laura

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Laura,

JL Bust arrived yesterday. I can't describe how glad I am. It's just wonderful and am very happy to have it. I wonder if there is any documentation, letter or anything from you,  to support its Authenticity as 16/25 Ed. piece of your work. This could be useful if it comes to selling or even donating. Having said that I have no intention of ever parting with it.  

Once again I do appreciate your perfect professionalism in handling this transaction. It's been a great pleasure doing business with you and very happy that I did eventually buy the Bust. It would remain my  precious possession for ever.

Good to hear from you today.  I didn't expect the call.
The Lennon piece looks that much better "in person".  The work is very peaceful and delicate for a bronze.  You have certainly caught the spirit of the subject.  Thanks for accenting the "New York City" on the shirt.

Now to find "the" perfect place to present Mr. Lennon.  We're having construction done in the upcoming months (probably later than earlier with the Town requirements, etc.) and I know the location.  In the meantime, he'll join the likes of Babe Ruth, The Rolling Stones, M. Ali, and my other "friends" in my den.
Very best,
Mike Santos

Glad to hear from you. I was away and just saw the sculpture couple of
days ago. It is brilliant.
My son was delighted with it. And Michael is in California and hasn't
seen it yet but I know he will also love it.
Thanks again for the wonderful birthday gift and I hope to do business
with you again.
Sincerely,
Teresa Viola

Just a little note to tell you, that the beautiful Buddhas have a nice place in our house. The meditating Buddha in my office and the praying Buddha in the front hallway.
We enjoy having their energy around us. We hope everything is ok with you, we enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you once again.

Love,
Paul and Mirjam

I have several sculptures of Laura's featured on this site and her own.
I have to say they are my favourite pieces. When friends come to my home they always comment on the beauty of them.
If you want something really majestic for your home I would strongly recommend a bronze as an investment. They are all very spiritual objects .

Dear Laura-- ...... "I was so taken by Laura's Lennon I simply had to figure a way to own one. Being a Beatles fan & memorabilia collector, it was the perfect fit . The piece is even more beautiful than I had imagined. It now sits prominently in the entry way of my new home as  "The Greeter " to both new & old friends, alike. My sixth sense gave me an added gift, my new friend Laura."

That ought work ! Go ASTROS ! Keep in touch & inform me of any new works, project & travels

The statue of John Lennon is absolutely stupendous, I am so happy with it, it goes so well in my apartment next to your other piece and to the large painting of John by Barry. Your work is exquisite.

Should you be considering producing any further bronzes of John do let me know.

I wish you continued success and I very much look forward to meeting up with you during the course of this year.

Kindest regards.

Hi Laura.

Buddha bronze

You did a magnificent job on the design about his chest and abdomen, and the shoulders, down the back and through to the buttocks - great work!

And the color, well ... thank you for the warmth! That's exactly what I wanted. I'll send you a pic of his new home soon.

Laura, thank you so much for this 'peace' of artwork.

I  got my meditation Buddha today and presented it to my friend for her new home. She is absolutely delighted - it is going to eventually find its place in a new conservatory which looks out to a small garden.

The Buddha has a very strong, serene presence, with a powerful energy around it. You have created something very beautiful that will always be a focus for peace and depth around the house.

Many many thanks
Love
Gurmeet

Hello, I just got home from fishing and yes the bronze has arrived!

It is as beautiful as I imagined...you are a fantastic artist! I'm still meaning to send out some photos to you and show you how beautiful your bronze looks in my home now.

Thank you Laura, John is "Cooooool" !!! Bye, Bob

Hi Laura

Thanks for that.

Yes I received Mr Lennon No9 earlier today. I think its great. it amazes me how you can get such a likeness and the detail is superb. He will just have to get used to a climate change!

Take care & Kind regards
