Artist Dick Zimmerman will travel to your home
environment or to the location of your choice to design the initial portrait sitting. The sitting will require no longer than five hours. The majority of the time will be spent on design and supervision of the composition, the coordination of the hair and makeup and the wardrobe selection.
The adult subjects will not need to sit longer than one hour, and the children not longer than ten minutes, while Dick Zimmerman takes various photographs that will be used for reference material,
and the foundation for his oil painting.
"Dear Dick, we want to thank you very much for the MAGNIFICENT painting of our family.
It is absolutely amazing and everybody loves it!"

"The portraits both arrived here tonight, and are absolutely wonderful!!!!
We're still hiding the one from my daugher-in-law, Beth.
My son may give it to her on her birthday, which is coming up soon.
Thanks Dick, for having that Jane Seymour portrait on display. It was that painting that caught my eye,
and now the rest is history..."
"...Jeff brought Beth over last night to see our portrait of the kids. She thought it was beautiful!!!!
He then had her turn around to see her birthday present—it was a Kodak moment—her eyes were as large as saucers, and her mouth was so wide opened that her chin almost hit the floor! She could hardly talk.
Thanks to you, we pulled off a total surprise! It's already hanging over at their house and looks wonderful!!!!
Thanks for such a great job on both paintings!"

"Dear Dick,
The portraits are absolutely absolutely Fabulous!!! We were
so so happy to see the portraits and very impressed with your artistry in
capturing the essence of my husband and I. We would now like you
to create a portrait of our children.
"Thank you very much."
Dick, we wanted to thank-you for the unbelievable painting you created for us.
Words cannot describe our feelings. You have captured a moment and feelings
within our family that could not have been captured any other way.
We received it a week ago and wanted to try and put our thoughts and thanks into words and
needed to give it time, but have come to realize no amount of time will give us
the ability to truly replicate our feelings of gratitude to you.
Your professionalism from the start has been uncomporomised and unparalleled,
and the experience will now live with us forever, and for that
we will be forever grateful."
Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts
Marc and Lisa
"Well it's FABULOUS! When it arrived today I just couldn't wait for Valentine's day surprise unveiling, Ed LOVES it, how you were able to get four children that young,
so beautifully captured in one portrait is beyond me. The wonderfully vibrant color combinations plus the fact that you included favorite elements of our beach house beautifully, makes it all the more meaningful.
We will treasure it forever!
Thank you! Thank you!
Marjorie and Ed"

Dick Zimmerman Painting of our family. Dick's use of color and light
brought such life to painting. We will treasure this piece of art always,
not only for the beauty that it brings to our home, but for the way in which it

This Portrait is the best gift anyone can give their family.

Thank you so much for depicting them so well. They look really calm and
sincere and have such reasonably kind expressions. Also thank you very much

taking in its beauty with each viewing. What a treasure you have created for us to
enjoy throughout our lifetime! Thank you for your time and it was a pleasure
meeting and working with you. We hope to work with you again.
"Most Sincerely,

"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"
"Dear Dick,
Just wanted to let you know that the portrait arrived Wednesday afternoon a few hours
before our dinner party and we were able to get it unpacked for everyone to see. What a beautiful portrait! We absolutely love it and the girls are so very proud of it also.
Thank you very much for the extra effort it took to get it here before Christmas.
"Best wishes for a joyous 2006
Steve, Kim, Haley and Kelsey Long"
"Dear Dick, I have just opened the box with our incredible portraits.
I am absolutely speechless! Mere words cannot express the joy and disbelief at your unbelievable work! It turned out so amazing!

so good as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You have a client for life with the Jones family.
Please contact me if you ever need a reference. We are thrilled!

"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 Perignon 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!"

"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 time span you mentioned.
"Put us on your referral list as you get the highest marks (and barks from Roscoe) from us!"
"Thank you for your artistic expertise. Our family will now be immortalized forever!!"
"Hi Dick,
I LOVE my new portrait! It is the real me and others think it looks just like me. You really captured my essence. Your work is phenomenal and I feel so fortunate to have found you. Thanks again for the trouble you took to make sure I was happy. I wish you well and continued success. It must be very fulfilling to do what you love and are so very talented at.
"Best regards,
Louise"
