I so happy for you, Tim

Wow!
 

Congatulations Kim!

The most gratifying aspect of being an artist is producing a piece that will leave a lasting impression for generations to come.

Congragulations on doing just that!

Kim - that's terrific! Congratulations!

Good for you Kim!

Congratulations! It's so nice that your painting will hang in a public place.

You Super Star You!
 

Kudos to you! Thanks to the internet, now even things that happen in small towns become WORLD news! Congratulations!

Congrats Kim!!
It is so much fun to see this article, to know that it will hang in a public place where it should be for all to enjoy. Personally, I enjoyed watching the progress of the work, here on portraitartist.com. It was an education for me and now very exciting to see your success with it.

You must be VERY proud and pleased!!

Thank you everyone:)
It was a suprise to me that it made the front page and in color yet. One good thing I discovered is that in these small towns they are very proud of their own. There was no way that painting was going to leave Uvalde - there were too many people who wanted to buy it and hang it publicly.

And I've been selling prints for the first time, and by golly that is a wonder. The work is done, the painting is sold - yet I am still making money. Who knew?

This article was about the woman who bought it and why, but months ago they did an article about me and the painting when I was still working on it. At least now I know that the 50,000 readers in the town and surrounding area know where I am.

Here is a detail, since that photo is not that clear.

Aaaaalllll Riiiiigght!

Kim,

Congratulations, and I hope this will bring new work your way!

Kim, I am so happy for you! I'm not at all surprised to hear about this success for you. Keep this up.

Thank you Tom, Chris & Linda.

Chris, I am hoping the same thing. It's already brought more visitors to my studio and inquires about portraits and landscapes. Three-cheers for free publicity.

Alright!!!
 

That is too cool, Kim. You done good. Now watch the commissions come flooding in!
