He Painted Me!
I have been FaceBook friends with an amazing artist for some time. His name is John Nesbit. His talent will blow you away, but maybe not as blown away as I was when I found out he painted ME!
Yep, yep, he sure did, as a surprise. And let me tell you I was very surprised indeed.
Wanna see?
Here is a PHOTOGRAPH of me from a couple of years ago. This is the PHOTO he used to base his rendering on.

And here is the amazing oil PAINTING he did from it. This is not photo-shopped or digitally done. It is a real painting that he will be sending to me for my birthday in April.

Please go check out some of his other paintings. They will blow you away they are so gorgeous!
