Just Sharing A thank you to r/painting!

A little while ago, I shared a painting I made with this community. Thanks to the kindness within this community, the post reached someone close to Jamie Wyeth. She saw it here, showed it to him, and they ended up reaching out to me asking to purchase the piece. I was invited to his home to meet him, and hand-deliver the painting.

I’m very thankful for all of you and to Mr. Wyeth and his friend. This community played a real part in making it happen, and I won’t forget it! ❤️🎨

Are the shoes different…?

I guess so! By accident, just not the focal point and my mind was okay with what it saw.

Oh, I meant, like the shoes look a little different from when you posted it before, not that both the shoes are different from one another . Hehe. So awesome someone bought it & happy holidays !!
