My
siblings and I gave them the painting about an hour ago. Liz, they
loved it. It's terrific. Without a doubt, the best gift any of us
have ever given them. Absolutely wonderful. It was completely unexpected
to them. Right now they're searching the house for a good place to
display it. Thank you so much

I just

I
got the portrait yesterday and I was thrilled! You were right,
it looks much better than it did on the computer. You are obviously
very talented. The hard part is going to be waiting until Mother's
Day to give it to my wife. I wanted to give it to her yesterday before
I even framed it. Thanks so much for the wonderful job you did. I
will send you a picture when I get the frame done. Thanks so much

"My beautiful
niece, Sheana, was killed last year as a result of a drunk
driver. Her son, whom she adored, had just turned three years
old...and this portrait is from the last photo taken of them
before she died. Thank you Liz for all of your hard work,
sensitivity, and communication during the process of creating
this portrait. This was very personal for me, and difficult
at times, but well worth it when I saw the expression and
tears on her mother's face when I gave it to her. You are
truly a treasure, and I will be having future portraits done
by you."

"When
you ask Liz to paint you a portrait you think you're going
to get a portrait! Wrong. You get something
precious that comes to life and cannot be described
by any amount of words!"

"The
painting arrived at the office today.
Fabulous. Wonderful. Awesome.
Tear Jerker. Stunning. Captivating. Marvelous. What more can
I say? Words don't describe my feelings. Carol is going to
love it beyond description. There are not enough ways I can
express my thanks other than to tell you I will get with you
mid year to commission yet another."

He
loved it! He was very surprised. I wrapped a nail
and hanger in a small jewelry box and hid the painting. He
was really surprised and amazed at how you had painted the
smallest details down to Rock's paws on the tree. A lot of
the coon hunters were impressed. Thank you so much for doing
this painting! You are truly talented and I appreciate all
your concern and attention to making it perfect! Rock will
live forever in this beautiful painting!

"The
picture is incredible.
She did a far better job than I even imagined could be done!
So [I want] to encourage all of you who have ever wanted to
do this, please contact her and see what she can do for you.
And the second purpose of this is to publically thank Liz for
doing my pic, putting up with my "quirks" and sharing her talent
so wonderfully with me. |

This picture is going to be a cherished momento forever! Fair
warning however...if you go check her web site out, you will
want her to do yours! "

"Oh
Liz, she's absolutely beautiful and you did capture
her expression! I don't think we can wait to hang her up till
the other two are done, so it looks like we'll get her framed
and just buy frames for the other two that go with their personalities.
Thanks so much."

"You have really
captured my son's outgoing and cheerful personality! It looks just
like him! I want to make sure that everyone understands that there
is a HUGE difference between what you see on the website and what
you recieve - the internet does not do justice to the beauty of
her paintings!"

"I
can hardly get over how realistic it looks! My gosh, Buddy
looks like he could just jump off the page into my lap! Cody's
jawline and ears are sooo perfect. I just can't get over the
likeness you have captured of them both. I am truly thrilled
and can't wait for my friends to see what the finished product
looks like. They will be truly amazed! I told my husband that
there isn't any telling how many people will see your show,
and now Buddy and Cody are going to be famous! He just laughs
and says that is all Hammerhead [Cody] needs to know, that he
is famous. He is hard-headed enough now! "
