Antonia,
What can I say? Words cannot express my gratitude for such an awesome portrait of my mom. It is truly one of the most magnificent gifts I have ever received! Your artistry and talent captured her essence, even though you didn’t know her. Every little detail you got just right. I don’t know how you did it. And though I knew a portrait would be presented to me, I was overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing my mom’s face when the painting was unveiled. Oh, what a moment! I will treasure that forever. Thank you for the time, and thought, and skill and energy you put into painting the portrait of her. I can’t imagine what all it took for produce such great work, but please know I am eternally grateful. The painting is now hanging in our living room above the piano which my mom played so masterfully. I so wish you could have known her. She was an artist, too, making beautiful music wherever she went.
Again, thank you for such a priceless gift and tribute to my mother.
At every opportunity I will brag about your work, and I hope you get lots of customers.
It was a pleasure meeting you and your husband. You two are a delight! May God continue to bless you and your family.
With great appreciation,
