When my dad passed away after running his own business at the same location for over 50 years, I wanted to give my siblings something to commemorate this achievement. I sent Derek a photo of my dad's business with the request of preparing a work of art for each of my family. He provided us with a truly one of a kind work. When I asked for a few changes to the original, he was quick to respond and did just as I asked. He provided us with a memory that will last a lifetime!

Mr. McCrea was hired for a special commission which was completed on budget and on time. However the most important element was the result: the quality of the art was spectacular resulting in a continuous stream of compliments. Subsequent purchases from Mr. McCrea have all resulted in excellent experiences and I can recommend him to others without any reservations.

Purchased original artwork from Derek depicting the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. The painting is specific to actual details of the lighthouse. He also does commission work from photos. I would highly recommend this artists work.

Quick turnaround. Beautiful work. Responsive to customer. I have commissioned several watercolors - all look great! Very easy to work with. Will definitely use again.

I bought several works of art from Derek because I fell in love with them thought they were going to be great as illustrations for a book I'm writing. I recommend Derek highly.

Derek has done a incredible job. I bought a few paintings and copies from him and was just delighted. The biggest compliment I can give is I gave Derek a photo to paint and reproduce for me of a beach on Key West and it was fantastic. He caught every aspect of the picture.

I have commissioned two works of my own pictures and they both came out Fantastic. 1 was Sandy Hook Lighthouse in NJ the other was a lighthouse called Twin Lights..as of this writing I have commissioned a third work. The quality of his work is fantastic and I highly recommend him.
