On Christmas I presented all four paintings. Three paintings were complete while the large painting is almost complete, but still in rough draft form. The four children pictured to the left are the children in the painting.

This was really exciting. Not only was able to present the three small paintings completed, I was able to get some great conversation with my clients concerning the direction of the large painting. This was a bit of surprise for my clients since all the paintings weren't due until February 1, 2008. Painting success! It feels good...

Congrats on your success! My favorite part is the footprints in the sand. Maybe because that was the poem read at my wedding. Idea for a new and separate painting...just the footprints! Really na great job here, tho.

The pictures are all fabulous. You did an abolutely wonderful job. I cannot imagine hoq Jacquie and her family must feel about receiving them and owning them and having them in her home. What a terrific endeavor for you. Without knowning the subject matter of any of the paintings previously, I knew exactly who they were.

Just terrific!

Love the realistic faces. Especially in the large painting, you feel like you're looking at a photograph rather than a work of human creation. Great job capturing the feel of the kids.
