That's exactly how I feel!

Because it's his hobby, Barney usually charges only a small fee to do sketches for people, and I would recommend him to anyone. It's worth the small amount to have something like this to treasure.

What a beautiful gift

linda44 · 09-15-2009, 04:12 PM

Thank you Bonnie. Just so you all know, and dont think we are saints over here in Napa sippin wine, Bonnie bought this sketch. Barney kind of picks and chooses which pics he wants to draw, and Bonnie's memories of Becca broke our hearts. Barney knew he had to try at least to do her sketch. Not that we havent gifted, in fact we hope that to be our trademark in the GE's. We are thrilled that Bonnie likes it and that it turned out so well. Bonnie.....both of us thank you for your sweet compliments and hope it brings joy, love and peace to you.

How beautiful! I know it will be a lifetime treasure for you. I had just looked at Linda's album of sketches last night and was in awe by Barney's talent. What a wonderful gift he has! And how nice to bless you with such a wonderful treasure.

Wrenee4 · 09-15-2009, 07:36 PM

Wow that is a great drawing!! I am amazed

(I cant draw a stick figure either LOL)

Its a precious memory of your furbaby, very beautiful.

A real treasure. Do you have a special place for it?

I think that Barney is so incredibly talented. I saw some of his works in Linda's post and they are wonderful.

Your little is a doll.

Linda, thank you for clarifying this. I apologize for giving the wrong impression - I was so busy being excited over the sketch that I didn't make it clear that the sketch was purchased. I knew what I meant, so I guess I assumed everyone else would too.

Besides, to me it was a wonderful, thoughtful gift of the heart! I was so excited when Barney agreed to try to draw Becca from such a tiny, poor quality photo. As I mentioned in my previous post, Barney does charge a fee for drawing sketches for others. To me, the sketch is priceless!

Well, just when I had finally sniffed up the tears, I read this post and the tears started again. (Tomorrow we take Miss Priss back to her breeders for boarding while we go on a tour that was planned before we got her. Every "normal" thing we have done today has made me tear up. I dread leaving her tomorrow more than I dread the 7 hour trip to her breeder's.)

What a precious sketch!

I am totally awed by Barney's talent and just speechless that it's a HOBBY! Oh my word, he is so gifted!

Linda and Barney, you guys are super special and in my opinion, your work is priceless! Knowing you, my guess is that the fee barely covers the raw materials and frame. It is such a work of love and really that makes it impossible to price where anyone could afford it!

Every time I see Barney's work I am so touched and until today had no clue it was just a hobby. If Linda has mentioned that before, it went right over my head.

It is a lovely sketch of Becca and I know you will treasure it forever.
