“Do it now”

Ron believes that the customer is king, and he follows a philosophy of "underpromise and overdeliver"
This is great for the customers who want commissions.

"On time and on spec"

A good example was an Australian resident who rang one of the Galleries in Dunedin asking for a painting of Puketapu, the hill that overlooks Palmerston, as she had lived there in her childhood.
 The Gallery knew they could ask Ron to do this within a week, and not only did he photograph the location, sketch it out, and complete the painting, but he completed it in three days so that there was time to frame it and deliver it "on time, and on spec".
