"Dear Kiwi of Northland,
"You don't know me from a bar of soap. However, I do have a small pencil drawing of yours entitled "Mamaku II".

"Dorothy and I were in New Zealand around Easter 1980 and we really had a fabulous holiday. Part of the joys of our holidays, these days, always seems to be looking at and buying small paintings, etchings and drawings, etc.

This time we had a "ball". We were travelling with close Christian friends with similar interests in landscapes, photos and paintings, so that between us we acquired some delightful small treasures of local, regional art, including this small gem of yours.
"I know you are an exceptionally good illustrator ... it is the fine quality of my small fern drawing that leads me to wonder whether you are an artist whose specialty is drawing / painting plants? Or are you an avid botanist with lovely artistic talent?..
"Perhaps I have written enough. I know I should be looking forward to hearing from you. Keep up the good art work. You have a lovely talent."

"If it's alright I will use the info you mailed me (of course I will credit you).
By the way, your artwork is absolutely fabulous.
Thanks again, - With very best wishes,"

"Your paintings are great. I would love to have seen the originals. I really enjoy the mood you create.

"I have your fern on the wall in the dining room. It is my favourite. You must be getting good dollars for your art now. Do you do prints? How much eg?
"At present how are you selling and are you doing limited edition prints?"

"You have started a very informative blog in spaces.msn.com/members/the-junglequeen/. "I also made it a point to visit your website..... Your post-apocalypse "Luncheon on the Grass" was as disturbing as it was supposed to be..... In American parlance, "You go, Girl!"
Best Wishes,"

"Wow! Your work is incredibly beautiful and even haunting. I am fascinated by the detail you bring. You get inside the animals don't you?
"I also noticed how as beautiful as they are you often show women as vulnerable and exposed -unsafe. Very interesting and the colors are breathtaking!"

"Dear Patricia,
So many want to look at the painting you sent I want to download a copy. I cannot print it in the format sent. Would you please send it as an attachment then I can print a copy. We like it that much.
Regards,"
Trevor Crabtree, Bushman and Balladier

"Patricia, your work isn't just original, or beautiful: it goes deep.
"I don't know fully what "spiritual" means as a word, but when I sense the numinous power in your
landscapes, then I know what it means....
"I know the NZ landscapes through a glorious (and rather brooding) book of great photos
given to me by my late NZ friend Norman Austin, and it seems to me that you really do
capture the inwardness of the landscape: your work is just abstract enough to
convey those (sometimes quite disturbing) presences."
