I love the stories behind the wonderful painting of the elderly woman and how it now is in a caring home. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your experience with art business as well. How sometimes predictaments occur and how they all typically resolve themselves, it just takes time and communication. <BR/><BR/>Have a most wonderful weekend!

Theresa, if you ever hear..."She's the real thing!" Theresa, if you ever hear anybody make that statement, they are talking about you or someone like you! I don't know how you do it, you are just like Gladys with your welcome mat and a fresh pot of coffee in the kitchen. I don't have to wish I knew your dear friend because I've met you and I suspect your are very much alike. You have blessed each other with your beautiful friendship my dear, thank you so much for sharing this story and sharing this even more beautiful depiction of her. And your openess to the world is so evident to be able to let this precious painting go to another loving home. Well I guess it's because you know that Gladys is always in your heart and not only on this canvas. Congratulations to the lucky owner and the happy artist!<BR/><BR/>I laughed at the title of the last painting - WHOAH that's totally clever I love it!!!!! And the painting nailed it! No pun intended LOL!<BR/><BR/>Darn wish you would have let me take pictures of you maybe I could have added more photo options for you! Good luck on the show!Art By Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076726403159256165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233422922314929310.post-26628854624323570532008-09-29T19:15:00.000-05:002008-09-29T19:15:00.000-05:00Hi Theresa,Great work.

It's amazing how we are both born into, and choose family if we're lucky. And I think it says great things about your spirit that you attract and give out such special affection.<BR/><BR/>BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233422922314929310.post-78022442215924710992008-09-29T18:13:00.001-05:002008-09-29T18:13:00.001-05:00Theresa,It would be so inadequate to express a com...Theresa,<BR/>It would be so inadequate to express a comment that reflects all that you've written in addition to these two paintings.<BR/><BR/>How blessed to have had Gladys to be influenced and bolstered by.
