The most amazing present... a painting of John, Fister and Pjevs!!

[Randi]

The postman rang my doorbell, because he had a package for me. :) A dear PT friend, who wants to be anonymous, sent me this. It took me quite a while to open it, because it was wrapped thoroughly, but when I saw it, I was overwhelmed with emotions. :) :( :love: I had no idea it would be such a beautiful painting - that is the sweetest thing ever, and a real treassure!!

I know a lot of thought has gone into it, it is so well done, and the details are amazing! Just look at it - what a talent!! I simply have to share it here!

John in the right side is what he looked like when I first met him - and it's spot on!

OMGness! Randi, what a beautiful, moving, painting of John, Pjevs and Fister. I so love the way Fister is looking out to them. I would have been so overcome with emotion to receive such a wonderful treasure.

I know the PT'er wants to remain anonymous, so, I will just post here to say what a wonderful rendition you did. What a thoughtful, loving gesture. :love:

What an AWESOME gift!!! Something to be cherished. After my Dad passed, I had my favorite picture of him made into a charcoal portrait. A little Chinese man had a kiosk in the mall. When I went to pick it up, I could see if from the opposite end of the mall, and burst out crying. It's something I truly cherish because it's how I always saw him.

Did someone on PT paint it??? (hint, hint);)

[Randi]

Thank you for your comments - and yes, it was a very emotional moment when I first opened it. I'm very grateful for it - what a thoughtful gift.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to the sweet PTalker who sent me this beautiful painting! :love:

After having seen the photos from which it was painted, I am even more amazed, as they weren't the best quality.

These two first ones are the ones used.

Your picture is so beautiful and wonderful too!!! I am grinning with tears in my eyes for you!!! :love::love::love::D:D
