Hi Jonathan & Lucinda,
A quick note to let you know that my latest order has arrived safely. I was particularly impressed that Tom O’Neal had taken time to append a little dedication and explanatory note to each picture: that's customer service. I would be grateful if you could pass on my thanks.
I'd like to thank you both for your excellent service and hope your business continues to prosper.
Best wishes.

We received the Tropical Bowl on Saturday, via Fed X., everything perfect. We are so pleased with the bowl as we have been looking for 3 years for something to go on our glass top dining table, it's perfect. Thanks to your neat gallery, we are so pleased with our purchase. If and when we return to Carmel we will stop and visit.

Thank you very much for your quick response to my e-mail of this morning.
It would be nice if all things were always perfect, but they're not, and when a business quickly responds to their customers needs, regardless of inconvenience to themselves, that is truly a testament to excellent business practices. Thank you for that, and we will certainly do business with you in the future if we see something in your gallery that we must have. After all, we will be back. How could we stay away?

My wife and I received the photographs of the cottages (and waves) that we purchased from your gallery during the 1st week of July and are very delighted with the photos which will give our house a taste of Northern California/Hawaii that we have been seeking. We would like to thank you and hope to be back again soon one day to your charming gallery and town. Thanks again!

I just got home. The platter is magnificent!!! Simply perfect!! Can't wait to get it on the wall. Thank you so much. You have a fabulous artist and fabulous service.
The glass artwork we liked wasn't available in the color we wanted so these fine folks bent over backwards to make sure we got the same (low) price and exactly the size and color we needed. Everything went smoothly, efficiently, and very, very pleasantly. Thank you.
We'll see you again.

Hi Lucinda & Jonathan,
Our holiday has come to the end. We are flying out tomorrow from Tokyo back to Singapore.
The highlight of this year’s holiday undoubtedly was the Familee portrait and our time in Carmel. LA was a washout :(
We probably won't be back to Carmel for a few years. Next year will be Hawaii, but we will remember this trip for years to come.
Thank you for making it a special holiday for all of us...
Best wishes

Dear Lucinda and Jonathan,
I can’t thank you enough for all that you did in arranging for the painting of Laddie. LeAnna clearly has a remarkable talent and it shows through. This is a painting that makes me feel good every time I look at it (Laddie passed away earlier this year).
Walking Mr. Bo Jangles is a pure pleasure. Walking with him beats walking alone by 1,000 percent. He reminds me a lot of Laddie with his mannerisms.
Sincerely,

Dear Lucinda and Jonathan,
I picked up our little baby's portrait yesterday and I was nearly in tears. It was gorgeous. My husband Greg also loved it. We are extremely happy with the portrait. I actually bragged to my co-workers at work. Hopefully some will get their pets’ portraits done too.
Again, thank you guys so much!
Very truly yours,

Hi Jonathan and Lucinda,
I can confirm that the crate has arrived yesterday and everything is in perfect order. We are very happy with Crystal Ball by Clark Little, it really is a beautiful picture and we hope to enjoy looking at it for years to come, which I am pretty sure we will.
Thanks a lot for the fantastic service!

Lucinda,
The portrait of Gabby just arrived in excellent condition and I am thrilled. It looks like her exactly and it shows so much expression in her eyes. I can hardly wait to show it off and have already found the perfect place to hang it.
Thank you so much and please tell LeAnna how happy we are and I think she has captured our Gabby’s personality.
Fondly,

Thank you, Jonathan and Lucinda. My Debra Groesser painting arrived today and looks incredible. Thanks for your courtesy and friendship. The enclosed box of candies is made in a very small town about 25 miles west of Omaha (less than 100 people). They make over 500,000 pounds a year and ship all over. Thought you’d enjoy a taste of Nebraska.
Thanks again and best wishes.

It was the holiday season 2009 when my husband, Jerry, and I first walked into Mountainsong Galleries in Carmel-By-The-Sea. We had been invited to the gallery by my husband’s son David so we could visit with Nicole Pratt again, a friend of the family, and to listen to the Christmas Carols being sung. We were warmly greeted by Nicole, who is the Marketing Specialist, and introduced to the gallery’s owners Lucinda & Jonathan. They made us feel right at home in their lovely gallery by their truly gracious manner.
Even though I was surrounded by lovely paintings, sketches, and other unique creations, what caught my eye instantly was an aerial photograph of Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Arizona. I wandered around, sang Christmas Carols, but I still kept going back to the photograph over and over again.
This beautiful photograph was done by Mr. William Scherer, one of the finest aerial landscape photographers in the country. Nicole informed me that Mr. Scherer has special clearance to fly in otherwise restricted fly zones so he can take his marvelous photographs.
His photograph of Cathedral Rock has special significance for me with many happy memories of Arizona since I was a child and those of my grown daughter spending her own happy years there with her husband and my grandchildren.
My father first fell in love with Arizona when he was stationed there during WWII. Like Mr. Scherer he too was a pilot. They also shared the love of photography. My father was a very good amateur photographer. If he had been able to take photographs from one of the bombers he flew, he would have done it.
I can’t help but wonder if Dad was Mr. Scherer’s co-pilot when my beautiful picture was taken.

Lucinda and Jonathan of Mountainsong Galleries are some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with (and it really was a pleasure!). Their customer service is the best anywhere and they are always patient and friendly. Even their dog, Mr. Bo Jangles, is great...friendly without being distracting.
From the very first time that I visited their gallery, I have been treated like a VIP and even when I changed my mind and bought a different painting at the very last possible second, they were nothing but gracious. I have since bought two more paintings from them and hope to be able to buy more in the future. I highly recommend them and you will not be disappointed with the customer service!

Tom and I both personally want to thank you for the wonderful experiences we have had at Mountainsong Galleries. We love the portrait of our precious Shih Tzu "Oreo" that LeAnna Tuff completed. We are so impressed with how welcoming everyone makes us feel at the gallery and we love to stop in on a regular basis to visit and browse the vast selection of art work.
We were especially impressed that LeAnna created a completely new portrait of Oreo just because you sensed that we were not 100% thrilled with the first one. While the first portrait was fabulous, it wasn’t quite how we saw Oreo. We would have accepted the first portrait but Jonathan insisted that he wanted us to be thrilled, now and six months from now. So now we have a portrait with which we are truly thrilled…WHAT SERVICE!!!
As new residents of Carmel-by-the-Sea you both have gone out of your way to make us feel a part of the community. We very much enjoy attending the special events you host and wish you much continued success at Mountainsong Galleries. We will highly recommend LeAnna’s pet portrait work and encourage all of our friends and family to visit and shop for that special personal item or gift.
Regards,
Nicole & Tom Truszkowski

We originally stopped by Mountainsong Galleries because I read an article in a local magazine regarding Mr. Bo Jangles - the Mountainsong's dog - and I wanted to meet him. While there we saw some portraits by LeAnna Tuff and really liked her work so we asked her to create a portrait of Murphy, our Coton de Tulear. We love the portrait! It turned out beautifully. It looks just like our boy - it really captures his look and personality.
LeAnna created the painting exactly like the photograph we supplied. We did decide that we would like a minor adjustment and she and the Mountainsongs cheerfully accommodated our request. The Mountainsongs wanted to make sure we were absolutely happy with the portrait and the process. They even kept us informed of the details of the delivery process.
We love the portrait and the customer service was above and beyond anything one normally experiences these days. We'd be happy to speak to anyone who is considering working with LeAnna or the Mountainsongs.
By the way, Mr. Bo Jangles is a sweetie.

First of all, the seascape painting by Richert is absolutely stunning. It captures the essence of the waves and actually gives it a 3-d appearance. Jonathan, thank you so much for calling and following up. Thank you a million times over! What a treasure!
