From Colin Dexter, May 2011:

"You have a gift, to get who the person is on the canvas, and that's very rare."

Colin , July 2011:

"A wonderful cook is our Celia,
About the same standard as Delia.
And she made all the viewers feel good,
On the set when co-acting with Gielgud.
Always too when she's painting our faces,
Her portraits are genuine aces.
Indeed, such is  mine - a most typical gem -
Each brush stroke by Celia M."

Colin's portrait now hangs in the permanent collection at the Old Parsonage Hotel, Oxford.
