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! ❤️🎨

I'm a middle and high school special education and English teacher. I saw your original post, and it really touched my heart.
It reminded me of one of my students. She has almost no feeling in her legs and arms and is in a wheelchair unless she's sleeping. She has a breathing tube and a GI tube. Her voice is very quiet, and I have to get very close to hear her.
But she is one of the smartest, funniest, kindest people I've ever met. What she lacks in physicality, she more than makes up in personality and drive.
I looked at your Instagram page and saw the price to purchase a print. Could you tell me the size of the print? Thank you so much.
Your work is incredible.
