Portrait of Maui for my birthday

November 9, 2008

My birthday was last week and I have started my journey for a new puppy in earnest.

Molly commissioned a beautiful portrait of Maui which just
arrived in the mail yesterday. The artist painted it from several
photos that Molly emailed to her.

I am blown away by the likeness and am impressed with all the
details that Molly asked the artist to include (such as my favorite
flower: the bird of paradise and my favorite bird that reminds me of
my beloved puppy: an egret).

The painting is now hanging in my office and is reflected in the mirror
that hangs over my desk so I can see in no matter where I look.

She is sort of sitting over my shoulder and so when I look up
from my computer, I see her smiling face. I am so thrilled.

Thank you to Molly and everyone who has written me to help
me these past few months. :)

********UPDATE********

So many people have asked the name of the artist, so here is the info:

The artist's name is Angie Ketelhut and her website is
http://www.artbyangie.com.

If you decide to get a portrait made, let her know I sent you and I think
she will give you a little *special* attention.

Aloha

James
