The experience was so bad that we had to let him go before the project was complete even though he had been paid in full. We hired Gene in the hopes that he could finish the job and we could put the experience behind us. We were in for such a wonderful surprise! First of all, the professionalism that Gene exemplified was very refreshing. Gene is so clean, he works so efficiently, and his talent and attention to detail left us with such a feeling of comfort and relief following our horrible experience with the other painter. With his background as an artist, Gene was very creative and discovered ways to fix the other painter’s mistakes. The topping on the cake was the final invoice. We were extremely pleased with the pricing as well. I wish that we could have hired Gene from the beginning! We are in love with our home again! We are expecting a baby soon and we have already asked Gene to come paint our nursery. I would personally recommend Gene and Artist Painters to anyone. Our expectations were far exceeded. Thank you Gene!”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stephanie S., Darien, IL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://artistpainters.tumblr.com/post/12663512241</link><guid>http://artistpainters.tumblr.com/post/12663512241</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:12:44 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Artist Painters on Facebook</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Artist-Painters-773-240-4077/193279414083444"&gt;Artist Painters on Facebook&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;“LIKE” us today on Facebook and share with your friends&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://artistpainters.tumblr.com/post/12042193653</link><guid>http://artistpainters.tumblr.com/post/12042193653</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Oct 2011 15:07:21 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>"The concept behind Artist Painters is to create an art piece that, at first view,  closely resembles..."</title><description>“The concept behind Artist Painters is to create an art piece that, at first view,  closely resembles a painting company. This painting company functions as a way to financially support a few artists and very subtly raise art awareness one home at a time, all the while, the customer receives a timely, expert paint job or refinishing project. It’s the introduction as a painting company that allows Artist Painters to meet new people and have an audience in this very specific environment, allowing for a number of artistic happenings, both seen and unseen by the customer. This concept only works if the standards of quality are very high and I believe we achieve this with our very positive testimonials, support by our customers and countless referrals.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Gene Pellegrene, Artist, Chicago&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://artistpainters.tumblr.com/post/12033704865</link><guid>http://artistpainters.tumblr.com/post/12033704865</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Oct 2011 10:19:49 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
