It was just a loose idea, and I need someone to help with executing it and didn't know where to start. When I looked up a few artists in the area, I found Dottie's website and loved the work I saw. I reached out to her, and felt so confident she was the right person just by taking to her. She is so pleasant and communicates well. She offered to help me with learning to paint/painting this gift myself, but because I wouldn't be in town, she happily painted what I needed on my canvas and had it ready before the deadline. The painting turned out INCREDIBLE! I am blown away by her talent, and her ability to put what I imagined onto a canvas. I can't tell you how much I trust this woman to execute a painting, and be honest about how it will turn out. Thank you so much, Dottie!

I'm always enthusiastic about having a good time, but I would not have guessed it was going to be so much fun.

After painting we went to dinner at Chatterbox which is steps from the studio and that rounded the evening so well.
