​Hello Sandra, I don’t know if you remember me. Some years ago, you painted a portrait of my grandfather for my aunt’s birthday. My aunt loves the painting. everyone who sees the painting is interested in finding out who the artist is. Now, since I have located your contact, I will be referring folks to you. Thank you very much for your rendering of my grandfather. God bless you.

From: Aunt Sandra to Sonya:

​Thank You So Much Sonya,
You know that I have always been so proud of you, so quite naturally I was drawn to your babies as the subject of one of these paintings. 
Ella was also one of the people that my mother, your grandmother loved to talk about because she was such a personality.  They are both beautiful girls who are darling. Thanks for sharing your life in personal photos and on FB.  Love you and the girls very much. Stay Blessed!

5. Niece and Recipient of a BLESSINGS Painting [​See Nkki's Response to the surprise when she received the  Blessing Painting]

Comment:
​ I opened one of the most carefully packaged items I ever received (WOW! That was seriously packed!)... Then I saw why... it was holding OUR hearts - Aunt Sandra's work & one of my favorite moments with my babies! [I still remember picking their fits. (One of my favorite dresses for Brie.)] Thank YOU!!! It's BEAUTIFUL! 🤩 Not just because it holds my babies, who I do regard as blessings (Psalm 127:3-5); but because of the heart & effort & soul & story & artist & love behind it! The kids (now teenagers) were thoroughly impressed & touched that you cared enough to PAINT them, and mom shed a tear! (She said, "Oh, wow... she captured the essence of both if them! It's PERFECT!" May God bless you ABUNDANTLY!

From: Aunt Sandra to Nikki:

Hi Nik, I had the chance recently to Show & Tell about the perception of the depth of love which flows through you.  I had not seen your children since they were small but I remembered how adorable they were then and I know they carry your blessings. I also remembered many years ago,  how you and your Mom had encouraged and had given of your time and care on so many occasions.  Thank you Nik. The Blessings Paintings were made for you and your babies, you deserve the best. You always give your best.  Much Love. God Bless you and Family as well.

Painting of Doris in 7th Grade -Painted by Sandra in 4th Grade
:Sandra Welcomes You:
Thank you my sisters, Doris and Linda, [chronological order]. I am so elated to know that you love my work and support it. ​
To Linda: As stated in my message to Linda, who is also a customer. Linda purchased prints of the work pictured below her message. [Linda's favorite the "French Garden" painting]-

To Doris: Also see the portrait of Doris which she stated that I insisted on doing when I was in the 4th grade. Later on I did a portrait of Doris' 1st daughter, Tanya.  I hope not you embarrass you both, so I won't add to my Portrait tab, since my skills were not fully developed yet. 

Guess What? You have both been selected as VIP Status; You have no choice in the matter.  You have gone the extra mile to encourage me at times when I really needed the encouragement. 

​Thanks so much & Thanks for being great Big Sisters!
Love You So Very, Very Much.
Your Baby Sis,
​Sandra

    Tribute to Grandmother, Lucy McCarty
    Special Tribute to Lucy McCarty, our Grand Mother was extremely proud of my artistic skills and took a chance on a 14-year-old and paid for my first art school from a correspondence course. I was always so proud that one of my instructors was, The Great, Norman Rockwell. What I am so greatly proud of today is my grandmother, who literally paid for this course by scrubbing floors. What an amazing woman ​both she and my mother, Lou Ella Lather were [pictured on the right]. I love you "Dear", my mother and "Mama", my grandmother. You are royalty in my eyes. Thank you for believing in me. This is my way of giving it back!
