A Joyeux Anniversaire

Photo: Anniversary gift arrived, wrapped by the ARTist.

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}

{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.

Photo: Libby Portrait. Will be framed in a few weeks…for now I just want to look at her eyes.

Happy Anniversary Larry.

Libby’s portrait is priceless.

I love you beyond the moon.

Me.
