Bill sent me this from Iraq for my Birthday. He had a street vendor paint it from a photo. Its on canvas and probably 20x20?
I love it

Really COOL! This touches my heart. My dad did the same thing with a picture of me when he was in Korea. My mom still has the painting - it's really wonderful.
I didn't know your husband was in Iraq. I'm sure it must be rough on you. We'll send lots of prayers to bring him home safely.
I just love it. How special. I hope he gets to come home soon to you!
Really nice portrait,I hope he gets back with you soon! :-)
So very sweet! I too hope he is safely returned home soon! Happy, happy birthday with many happy returns! Gretchen
He's working for KBR (halliburton) and is over there by choice. He will be home in July for 2 weeks and then hes signing another years contract.
I've been going through photos all day looking for ones to have painted. Can you believe that only cost $75.? I found this really great one of our wedding that i'd like to have done.
Cant wait to get this one framed..the likeness is incredible.
i know, by far, this is the BEST gift i've ever been given!!!
Jen
Now, if i could get him to send some of that awesome 18kt gold jewelry, lol
Yeah, and have him get you a couple big diamonds while he's there. Hope all of our boys/girls return home safely, real soon.
Wonderful painting. What a great gift!
what a wonderful gift and a thoughtful husband!!
Very nice Jen. You must have a great guy!!
Beautiful, Jen. What a nice gift.
Brugie, the BEST in the world (even before the pic :)

Beautiful Jen! What a special gift.
What a great gift! you're beautiful!
What a great gift from a very thoughtful DH. You are very pretty, no wonder he wanted to have your photo made into a painting. Donna
What a great gift! It is beautiful. I hope, he will return safe.

That is so cool. They did a great job. Now to find the perfect frame.
That has got to be one of the most awesome gifts I have ever heard of! Lucky You! :)
The picture is beautiful as is the subject. super nice
What a great gift! Hey, you've got a keeper! He knows how to make points!
I hope he stays safe, it's scary over there! Best wishes!

Thanks again yall for the prayers, warm wishes and compliments.
I'm taking it to Negrottos tomorrow to check on framing. Would love to take it Michaels, but so many people have told me to be cautious of them.
I'll post a pic when i get it framed
jen
I bet it looks so great when you get it framed. Looking forward to seeing it!
What an awesome and thoughtful gift!
