| Can I brag a little? I don't know how many of you follow the Gift Exchange section here but I decided to participate this time. My Secret Buddy sent me the most amazing thing I've ever received and I just HAD to share it with you guys. Krissie Bella had sneakily gone behind my back and took a picture I posted of Gabby and had this lady paint it. When I received it, I was completely shocked and speechless! I've never seen anything so beautiful in all my life! There it was, my precious baby painted in oil in an exact likeness to the photograph. It was timeless and the perfect gift. So I found out who it was and contacted the lady. I want another painting! What an awesome way to preserve your memory of your baby. Oil paintings last forever! In the meantime, I just had to share my special gift as I'm so tickled to have this!

| Oh my what a beautiful surprise. Can you share the artists name? Or is that forbidden here? I would love to have one of my kids.

| Oh I love that! It's beautiful! I would totally pay to have one of Presley! Can we find out if she's interested in making some money? I understand if not. But Wow! And such a thoughtful gift!

Senior Yorkie Talker | I was just looking at this in the GE forum. It is beautiful and her prices (that you posted) are way less than I expected for oil painting. You are so lucky! WOW!

| The artist is definitely interested in taking on more work for others! I get the feeling this is what she does for a living. I'm not sure to be honest. KrissieBella knows the artist personally and I believe she works closely with her for paintings she's commissioned to do for those on YT. I would PM her for info. Whatever the artist charges is most definitely worth the money! Oil paintings are forever. They never fade, crack, chip or disintegrate. I absolutely love mine! I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I know! I told the artist she needs to charge more. I can't get an artist around here to work that cheap! She had about 20 hours into mine. Not even close to enough money if you ask me! You're not going to find anything original in a gallery for that amount. The last time I went shopping for a painting for a client, I was looking at $300+ for a reproduction and it wasn't that great. This is mine. ALL mine and no one else in the world will ever have that painting. Not to mention how fantastic it looks hanging on my wall. I've gotten so many compliments on it already.
