My group booked Emily for a bachelorette party activity and it was a great experience!…read more I was the one of the group that actually booked it so I was communicating with Emily prior to the date we booked her for. She was quick to respond and very friendly! She gave me a bunch of options to pick from that I felt would work good for the group/theme. On the day of the booking, she arrived on time to set up and she provides all the supplies needed. You can also pick what size canvas you want. We all had to travel with carry on suitcases so we opted for a smaller canvas and it was perfect. She was very helpful and painted along with us, giving us tips when features came up. I would recommend her service for any event that you want to add a fun touch with a memorable/personal souvenir.

Emily gives easy to follow, gentle, encouraging class instruction, as well as individual help as needed. The variety of classes and projects is wonderful, and the different locations of classes are a fun way to explore the Panhandle area. I don't consider myself a painter/artist, but Emily's classes are therapeutic for me bc I get to spend a couple hours relaxing, making something, and using a part of my brain and self I don't usually exercise. It's good to "get out of my head" for a bit and create! Whether it's a class or a private event for adults or kiddos, The Traveling Painter will not disappoint. We highly recommend this business and these classes!

The materials needed to frame my painting took longer than anticipated being delivered and once the wooden frame parts were delivered, the owner made a small measuring mistake, meaning that piece couldn't be used. He ordered a replacement part and the frame was completed the next day. I am very happy with the frame and how the picture looks in my condo. I will use Frames & Things for any future picture framing needs.

The painting was gorgeous and we were wanting it for our home. When we asked the lady at the counter if they shipped, she asked what we were talking about. We explained we wanted to purchase the painting and ship it home as we were flying out early tomorrow morning. She said no they would not ship it for us because it might cost too much.. We were willing to pay for it to be shipped home. She told us we could buy it and take it to the post office or Fed Wx ourselves. Since this was near 7 pm, we knew this would not even be feasible since we fly out at 8 am. I cannot imagine a store in a tourist area which does not offer shipping. We have traveled all over the world and this is the first time this has happened to us. If you want something small, shop away. However, if your eye is on something large and expensive, go somewhere else who offer shipping on such things.
