The Surprise left me FLOORED

[JerseyWendy]

I was NOT expecting anything from UPS, so when my doorbell rang late yesterday afternoon, and I saw the UPS truck in the street, I was a tad bit dumb-founded.

But not nearly as dumb-founded/speechless/in awe/in tears and VERY VERY touched by this incredible gift that was so tenderly and lovingly wrapped.

Pictures truly don't do this painting justice!



And you better believe that we found the PERFECT spot on the wall for it right away.



THANK YOU again, Laura! :smile015: You rendered me speechless! :smile015: Can't wait for you to personally see it at my wall this summer!!

Thank you all so much!

I can't stop staring at it, I swear! It's QUITE huge, too. And the colors are so very vibrant!

Laura, I'll never be able to thank you enough!!! I love you, my friend!! Now I know what you and Alex had to talk about last week....HAHAHHA! He just admitted to me he had given you our address. Can't believe you all kept this such a secret from me!

[Anansi]

Such a beautiful painting!!! And Wendy is right, the picture doesn't do it justice. I was fortunate enough to see it while it still hung, newly completed, on Laura's studio wall.

What an awesome gift of friendship! Breathtaking, actually. The depth of friendship that inspired such a piece must be profound, indeed.

What a fabulous surprise!!! Incredible painting, and WOW, what an amazing gift from such a talented artist!

And I just had to add, this is high praise indeed coming from an artist of Allee's calibre... high praise well-deserved.

Thank you all so very much!!!

Yes, Sebastian, this is the photo of the painting on the wall, but it's a REALLY bad photo. It's hanging in the hallway downstairs, and I can't get a good picture because of the glare.
