Ardith,

How sad, how really sad.

You have given her something to treasure.

Sincerely,

Emotional but worth it...

It was very hard to do the piece but I feel that the family truly appreciates it. I had to work from 1 color and 5 b/w photos and in each photo he looked so different. So that also made it difficult. But Kevin's mother said that she couldn't explain it but my painting looked more like Kevin than any photograph that she had of him. She said that I captured his spirit. That really gave me chills....
