Marna,
I just love it!  I can
remember Tess
looking at me that
way. Donna was over
the moon about her
gift.  She has set the
painting on a small
tabletop easel so that
she can see Tess from
all angles of the
living/dining and
kitchen area.

Marna,
I hung Scout's painting
in the kids play room
above my desk so when
I sit there I can look at
him. Scout said that was
ok! Thanks again.

Wow, it's so beautiful
and intensely colorful.  
Love your palette, your
brushstrokes, how
playful and alive it feels.  
And it looks so much like
Thumper!  At the beach,
with palm trees and a
little Peace sign!  :)

SAMSON, in fond memory, Phoenix, AZ
10x10" Acrylic on Canvas, April 2010
Client ideas for
Catalina's portrait:
"As for backgrounds,
I like the ones that
are a bit more
abstract. fern
leaves, spirals that
sort of thing."
Client ideas for
Misty's portrait:
Neutrals, subdued,
natural colors,
maybe a light
colored background
in a warm tone.
It looks amazing.
Great job!! Thank
you so much.  My
Grandma is so
happy with it.
WL, San Diego, CA
I will treasure the
painting of Sam as
long as I'm alive
and then some.
J, Phoenix, AZ
The painting is beyond
what I could have
imagined it could be.  
The colors are
magnificent.  It was
well worth the wait,
thank you so much.

Oh Marna, I can’t tell how beautiful it is. Maggie looks amazing hanging on
the wall. You were absolutely right about the size. Is perfect. You
completely captured her personality too. (I didn’t know that could be done.
She has “attitude” in the painting just like she has in real life!). I can’t stop
staring at it. It is so perfect, it's like you read my mind. I love the little
flowers and the cactus too. I love it love it love it. - Kelly, Phoenix, AZ
Marna,
The Daisy painting was a
huge success! My sister
cried when she opened it,
and she said it was by far
the best gift she received
for her wedding. Thank
you again for making the
portrait possible and for
upgrading the size. I can't
tell you how much I
appreciate it.
-Shannon, San Diego, CA
Marna,
I absolutely love it.  You
actually brought me to
tears!  You really made
my day. Thank you. CS,

Blake and Kyle, inseparable souls
Daisy
Marna, I just wanted to
thank you and let you
know how much I love the
painting.  As Andy
probably told you, Blake
and Kyle have been like
children to me.  I lost Kyle
last year, but he lives in
on in my and Blake's
hearts and in your
painting.  Thank you again.
