From Sophia Russell-Cobb, September 2019:

"I just wanted to tell you that I think the portrait is absolutely wonderful, I have no idea how you managed to get Piers so completely onto your canvas.

I knew it was going to be good because I admire all your other work, especially that of  Antony Beevor. But it just is incredible to have captured his spirit so well.

You really take my breath away!

I knew that he was not the easiest person to paint, what with his being miserable on certain occasions, and constantly in pain and sometimes rather sleepy - so really you are a total master - and deserve huge accolades - enormous congratulations to you , it is just beautiful and perfect."
