"A FAMILY TREASURE"
Mary Lou Merrick wrote the following letter regarding
the portrait of her parents:
"The portrait you painted of my parents has truly become
a family treasure. My brothers and I were very proud to
present the painting to them as a surprise at their 40th
wedding anniversary party. And their reaction was
certainly all that we had hoped for.
I know I brought you a most difficult task - to paint a
life-size oil portrait of my parents as they looked 40 years
ago on their wedding day. I had only old, faded pictures
for you to work from, I could not locate their wedding
outfits for you to see and time was short - only a few
weeks until their surprise 40th anniversary party. You not
only accepted this challenge but earned my highest
respect as a portrait artist by completing a magnificent
portrait of my parents that even they can hardly believe
the likeness you were able to capture of them 40 years
ago.
My father's twin brother and my mother's sisters have all
commented, 'That's just the way they looked.' And my
parents couldn't be happier with your portrait of their
wedding day.
It was a pleasure working with you, Mike. Your sincerity
and love for your work is apparent in your paintings. You
are very talented and I wish you every success with your
career."
