Shirley,
We
ll you've done it again! My Husband Absolutely LOVED his book! I was shocked at such a response from him. He was so surprised and grateful! Thank you so much for asking me to sit for you. He said he would have to study them for a while to pick a favorite to enlarge.
Every woman should do this special photo shoot for their special loved one. It made me feel so good to see him so excited about a gift! I just got on here and saw SASSY !!!! I love it! You are so talented! Thanks again for wrapping my book and having it all ready for giving!

Shirley did "American Home" for me as a birthday gift to my husband.  The painting is of his former home and yard, that he spent many, many hours renovating.  I  think everything about the painting is perfect!"

A "Walk in the Field" was created from a photograph of my husband's parents (and Vyke, the golden retriever) on their beautiful farm in northwest Kansas.   We gave it to them for their 45th wedding anniversary and love it so much that we asked Shirley to paint one for us to hang in our home, too.

"Dawn flight" fully captures the early morning fog and ducks as they fly over the Little Red River at Gaston’s Resort.  What I love most about this painting is that I made this trip to Gaston’s with Shirley.  I didn’t know she had taken this shot until later when I saw it at one of her exhibits.   I had to have it!

"Sandy by the sea".   When Shirley gave me "Sandy by the Sea", little did she know what a gift it would become.  Not only does it capture the ocean that I love, but reminds me of our summer vacations on the beach and precious time spent with family.

"Timeless" is one of my favorites because it is from one of Shirley’s early morning walks along the beach.   I can feel the warmth, smell the gulf and hear the waves when I look at this painting.
