It is hard for me to fathom,
that in a few weeks,
Larry and I will have been married 41 years.
We decided on a gift weeks ago…trusting our “gut”
as we commissioned a painting
by just seeing a painting that a fellow blogger
{Thank you Stephanie Nielson}
had commissioned by the same ARTist.
I am so picky about things like this….but it felt right.
Do you want to see that paining first or know the ARTist?
The ARTist is Suzi Reil. {links below}
ARTist Suzi Reil l website ink
{we commissioned her through her ETSY Shop}
Suzi is a California ARTist, who has a special knack capturing
the complete expression of a beloved pet or family member .
She is wonderful to work with and is very concerned
about capturing your subject perfectly.
I cried when I opened the portrait last evening….
and
had so much to tell Suzi about my feelings as I looked at the painting.
But that can wait.

Happy Anniversary Larry.
Libby’s portrait is priceless.
I love you beyond the moon.
Me.
