"This is unbelievable! You captured more of Gena than what the original photograph ever did. How did you do that? The way you painted this brought out an almost magical quality to her portrait. Thanks for doing a wonderful job."
John and Rody Steffens, Chapel Hill, NC

"We just want to thank you for the wonderful job that you did on the painting.  My wife cried and I was so full that I couldn't speak.  We can hardly wait until we get it hung and can show it off to all of our friends.  I don't think either of us have stopped talking about it.  Wow, what a surprise.  How did you do it. So much effort and thought. Thank you again a we will certainly pass your name on to our friends.  You are truly talented."
William Groce

The photo at the top right was the original submission - at full size!!  It was a very small file from a digital camera and there wasn't much to work with.  The extreme close-up to the lower right shows what this looked like when enlarged to the size that I needed for painting.  Not much to work with and very little detail.  Plus, the color was terrible.  Working with Judy's guidance (and a whole lot of communication between us) I was able to paint the portrait seen below.  Yes it is more expensive to paint when the image is this poor, but they didn't have another snapshot that was anywhere near this good.  Those kids are adorable in that photo.  Can you blame them for wanting that one painted?
