Thank you Mary!
I delivered the painting last night, staging a little unveiling for the famiy. When I pulled the drape off of the painting I fixed my eyes on the mom, watching as her eyes welled with tears and she put her hands to her face and slowly broke into a grin from ear to ear. Then my eyes wandered to the dad (who, by the way thought it silly to do the oil painting when he wanted me to do charcoal drawings of each child) as he took a step back, said "whoa" and grinned. They just love it and placed it on their mantle. Mom responded, "the painting changes the whole living room".
What a great feeling...as I was leaving dad said I will be hearing from them for oil portraits of each child; wouldn't that be grand!
All in all a terrific experience.
