Probably
Not the Solution to Your Every Christmas Problem...
…but maybe.
But only if you have an impossible-to-buy-for
person in your
orbit, and only if you can handle their tears when they
open the package.
And only if you’re willing to do almost as
much work as me, generating
the art. (See list of questions below!)
And only if you, or you-and-the-rest–of-the
family, don’t
mind spending about $225.
I can do art like you see above for the
problematic person on your Christmas list - the person
who has everything, needs nothing, or whose taste is so
particular you can never pick a sweater for them. Shown
at the top is an example - my world on a shelf. My
favorite books,
some books I wrote, some family, some projects, some
habits. It’s one way to
tell a life story. I'll do this for anyone, if I have
their information/particulars. I think we all need to be
reminded of the ways in which our lives have mattered.
I have room in my schedule to do a few before
Christmas. Contact me if you're interested.
But first, try to answer these questions
about your person:
•
What’s their birthday? Anniversary?
• What’s their career, (assuming they
loved it)?
• Hobbies?
• Pets?
• Church?
• Their children’s names?
Grandchildren’s?
• Musical instruments?
• Favorite flower?
• Favorite color?
• Favorite car?
• Favorite books? (of course.)
• Their school/university?
• Awards, accomplishments?
• Favorite restaurant, food? (maybe)
• Do they collect anything? (turtle
figurines, houseplants, ball caps)?
I don’t need every question answered, just
the ones
important for your person. You might think of things
that aren’t on this list –
send ‘em along.
And, I still do pen and ink house portraits,
if that’s more
to your/their taste.
Final art is usually 11” by 14”. That’s a
standard frame
size, so you can frame it yourself with a nice frame
from Target or wherever.

I’ll need about a 2-week lead time after I receive your
answers to my list of
questions.
Merry Christmas!
