My wife & I just purchased a beautiful painting from this fantastic gallery, and the entire experience was truly wonderful. We are extremely happy with our new artwork that now hangs in our living … More room. It completely changed the room, with special thanks to Greg who also delivered and hung the painting in our home to perfection.
Thank you Greg -- you're awesome!

My 9 year old daughter and I stopped in at Lu Martin Galleries tonight during the First Thursday Art Walk. Lu Martin could not have been more kind and welcoming to my daughter and I. She had the best stories … More about the paintings, in addition to some wonderful life advice. My daughter picked out a special painting by Lu Martin, and was thrilled to hang up her first painting in her room. Thank you Lu Martin for giving us a special experience tonight!

Gregg and Lu are very friendly, cooperative and generous. Gregg held a beautiful Martin Beau Pré painting for 2 weeks so that I could "accidentally" drop in on my wife's birthday. I told … More her to choose any painting, and she chose the one I had picked out. She was so happy she cried for an hour. Lu happened to be there that Sunday, and we had a nice conversation with Lu, who gave my wife a gift.

I had such a great conversation with Greg Martin. He stayed open almost 4 hours past closing. This also allowed others to enter and browse also. We had a great conversation with a married couple which … More gave me a new perspective on a Martin Beaupre painting, his were probably my favorite paintings. I would highly recommend this gallery for the various other works as well. I will definitely check back in when I am in town next.

My husband and I purchased a beautiful painting from Greg at Lu Martin Galleries. Greg was a joy to work with...no sales pressure whatsoever, showed us plenty of options, and was so pleasant to talk to. … More As he mentioned, a painting has to draw you in, and the painting we purchased, does this for us. This is the 3rd time we've purchased a painting from this gallery. I highly recommend visiting and purchasing from Greg and this gallery! You won't be disappointed.

I just moved to OC and wanted a special painting for my new house and wanted to make sure it was by a local artist. Lu Martin Gallery not only had amazing art, but the whole experience from the first minute … More I walked into the gallery to when that beautiful painting was hung on my wall was fantastic.
