My deep appreciation for artists throughout time led me to have my portrait done for my family.
Instead of walking through galleries of indifferent faces or showing an object left to them they will be able to look at the portrait and say, "this IS my mother or grandmother" and be reconnected by memory and know they were loved as I look at them now.
My favorite flower is the gardenia; the 4 in the portrait symbolize my grandchildren.
Dick & Patty you did so very well letting me give this memory to the ones I love.
From a grateful heart,
Dolores Jane

"I stayed excited, anxious ... while Dwayne was unwrapping the painting. The suspense revealed itself as a Wonder! We were watching the picture while savoring our favorite Dom Pérignon Champagne for the celebration. Until the last drop of the Champagne, we couldn't tell how my portrait could have been better painted from whatever angle or whatever point of view. It is so perfect that we could not even tell what we were initially expecting. The watering and expressive eyes giving a hardly noticeable questioning smile are empowered for the mystery and the adoration. We are fascinated by the creation of the background which matches harmoniously the sitting portrait embellished by the traditional Chinese dress. Finally, it's done forever. Thanks to Mother for giving me the components for the portrait. Thanks to Dwayne for the idea of portrait and identifying the real artist. The last but not the least, thanks to both of you for the realization of the wonderful work. You made my portrait entitled for the eternal admiration! Together with Dwayne, we want to take the opportunity while writing you the little thanks note, to wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !" ~ Julie

Dear Dick and Patty,
Today started off with a wimper but finished with a bang! Linda was walking our dog Roscoe this morning when he decided to run after a squirrel. He pulled linda so hard that she fell, landing on her elbow. She now has a cast on for the next 8 weeks. We came home tired and cranky. As we pulled into the driveway, we could see this large crate inside the garage.
I eagerly opened it.
We must have stared at it for five minutes with saying hardly more than WOW!!!. We have seen many of your work but we are predjudiced and think our portraiture is one of the best we have ever seen.
Our thanx go to you and Patty for walking us through the whole process. You did everything on schedule and made us very comfortable in the tine span you mentioned.
Put us on your referral list as you get the highest marks (and barks from Roscoe) from us!"

Jean is one of those people that is never satisfied with pictures taken of her, but for the first time that I can remember she actually said, yes that is me, I really like it. You captured the true essence of every family member in the portrait and it is now hanging with great pride at the grand entry to our home. Thank you so much Dick. ~ Jean & Kirk
