Surprise Gift!

One of the best phone calls ever came on Christmas morning from the person who received the painting(s) at the left as a gift.  He had actually contacted me about purchasing it but, unbeknownest to him, his wife had previously secured it and alerted me that he might call.  I had to kinda fib my way through his inquiry letting him know he was a tad late in making his intentions known. After promising him I would consider painting another one I packed this up and mailed it to the giver.  I think I was as thrilled as he was on Christmas morning when he called to share his surprise and excitment.  Knowing someone loves a painting is a very special feeling....makes me anxious to get back into the studio and paint again!
