Val McGann ©2011

Here is an artist whose affinity for the sea is undeniable. His paintings evoke all the mystery and fascination that the sea holds for us. ~ Italia Marletta, York County Coast Star

McGann approaches his coastal and marine painting with subtle, vibrant, luminous colors. ~ Jessica Manyan, Tourist News

The painting technique is loose, free, without fussiness, done with the freedom of knowledge and confidence. Rocks, waters, sky, foreground and distance, sunlight and mist are all plainly there to see--yet not in photographic detail. ~ Thomas F. Potter, The Journal, Meriden, CT

Thanks for taking such good care to send the painting that my wife chose for my birthday. It came without a scratch and looks great. I just love the painting. How much detail in such a small space, it just amazes me! M. L., Shreveport LA

Recently the painting you did for my wife arrived at my office. It arrived in perfect condition thanks to a supurb packing job. From the aesthetic side, I know my wife will be thrilled to hang her second Val McGann original in our home. My only problem is that I have to hide it until Christmas when I would really like to give it to her today! L. P., Columbus OH

The painting arrived in beautiful condition after traveling across the continent and it is hanging in my outer office for all to enjoy. I can also see it from my office since we hung it in a position for people in more than the one room to see. I have had many, many comments (all favorable) regarding it and thought you should know.

Your painting arrived and it was an excellent job of packing. It got here in perfect shape. I just love your work and treasure each one of your paintings I have. I've never had the experience before of following one artist over a number of years, as I have you. K. F.

Last month my wife and I purchased a small oil of a scene of a lighthouse and seaside garden with a background of a very luminous pink and blue sky. We have hung it at the bottom of our stairs so that we see it when we come down each day, illuminated by the morning sun. It absolutely glows and it is giving us much pleasure. Thanks! B. and J. S.

Looking at your painting of a soft day stimulates me to write and express my appreciation of all the pleasantly haunting images it evokes. My difficulty is deciding whether it best belongs in the office or at home. R. K., New York City
