You may recall this post in which I told you of a beautiful portrait I had done of my daughter by a wonderful artist by the name of Dana. ( Portraits By Dana )
Recently, I emailed Dana and told her that my husband has also passed away and would she be able to piece together a portrait of their reunion?
After discussing the portrait and and sharing photos, Dana was so very kind to me as to offer this for free of charge. Now, I know this is unusual for her and I was rendered almost speechless at this offer. As many of you know, I find it overwhelming to receive so much kindness from strangers because I feel I do not always feel worthy of it. I don't bring this up to brag, but, instead, to show the kindness of Dana's heart.
The portrait arrived today, and so I thought what a good time to start my Mailbox Monday segment!
This photo below is actually the preview she sent to me.
Isn't it wonderful? I highly recommend Dana if you would like a portrait done of your loved one. As I mentioned in the post about my daughter's portrait, she has an eye for detail and she was able to draw my daughter based on not-so-good-quality photos.
Thank you, Dana. Once again, you have touched my heart in a way that I just can not explain. You have used your talent in such a profoundly meaningful way, and there are just no words... just...
THANK YOU.
