"My husband and I commissioned 2 paintings from Graham as we love his mountain and cityscape depictions of the North Shore and Whistler. We had previously been unable to find reasonably priced artwork which fit our taste. Working with Graham was exceptionally easy and enjoyable. He responded to all correspondence in a timely manner and, as first-time commission buyers, seamlessly guided us through the process. The end results were even better than anticipated. Multiple houseguests have provided unsolicited comments on the high quality of his work. We would unreservedly recommend him as an artist."

"After requiring 5 of your original paintings. My thoughts and feelings towards your wonderful artistic talent starts with the instant BEAUTY I see in your works from your eye-popping colour schemes! I gravitate to them. Your mind’s eye is revealing on canvas to me. The themes you choose are akin to the values I have…THE RAW NATURAL BEAUTY OF WILDLIFE & LANDSCAPES! I view your work as CANADIAN HERITAGE CLASSICS!

Your art invokes smiles & fantastic memories of western & northern Canada. I see the dynamic life, strength; soul in FELIX…his eyes! The calm beauty, barren cold & stars of the POLAR BEAR in NORTHERN SOLITUDE! Mount Cayley’s majestic heights. The detail in ALL your works including the ones I don’t unfortunately possess indicates to me your passion, skill & quality you create! My sole disappointment is your works I don’t possess!”

Graham, I thought you’d be interested to know that actually my husband and I acquired three of your paintings (Moonstruck, King Fisher, and Chilly Morning). We just moved to Vancouver and have always loved the mountains but never had a chance to live near them until now. We were looking for pieces that made our place feel like we brought the beautiful outside indoors and your paintings were perfect. We absolutely love our new home and have your work to partly thank for this!

“Hi Graham, Andrew and I are LOVING the Castle Tower Mountain painting. It took us a while to settle on where to put it in our house. We ended up hanging it at the top of the stairs, as you can see in the attached photo. It’s hard to get an accurate photo from the stairwell, though it looks quite grand in person! Climbing up the stairs and seeing the painting gives me the same feeling as hiking up a trail that gives way to a magnificent view. Thank you again for the beautiful painting. It was wonderful to meet you! “

I love how this painting makes me feel. I feel the sand under my toes, hear the gulls, feel the air growing cooler, smell the ocean and hear the waves. It makes me peaceful. Here’s how it came to be: we went to a RAW event in Vancouver in July 2016. Many skilled artists and artisans had their work on display. We encountered this Artist, Graham Watts. He has a gift for cityscapes with all of them so familiar to those who love Vancouver. But when I saw “Twilight Lighthouse Park” I was transfixed; it was as if he had painted it for me. My husband said “this is our view!”. We have been walking, cycling, and picnicking at Spanish Bank for decades, and this is our special place. We count the freighters every time to see if we can beat our record of 17, we gaze at the lighthouse and the mountains behind, listen to the ocean. It is one of our most favourite places in Vancouver. The artist has captured this, and with it, the feelings and sensations. I couldn’t help returning to look at it again and again. It was meant to be and I am very grateful my husband said “would you like me to buy it for you?” YES I WOULD! We love this painting and are very happy to have it in our home.

Good Morning Graham. Just having my first cup of coffee and looking at my new painting. All I can say is I’m just blown away. The motion, the thrill of the moment in the descent and the astounding mountain backdrop is awesome. You have put a lot of yourself into the creation of this wonderful picture. Gives me goosebumps. Believe me wherever it resides Whistler or here I will treasure it!!!It speaks to me on many levels. Thanks so much. Hugs Barb

Graham, I must tell you that your painting is breathtaking! More than words can say. I can not tell you how pleased I am to have it. I saw it online and I loved it, but I was completely blown away to see it under the Christmas tree. It was a complete surprise and I can not tell you Graham, how pleased I am to have it. It is just fantastic! – thank you.
