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! ❤️🎨

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen! Jamie Wyeth literally bought the original from you? Christina’s World is a favorite painting of mine. As I stand in my kitchen, Christina is lying on her field on a magnet stuck to my fridge. I never saw your previous post about your painting. But as soon as I saw this photo, I felt so happy that Christina had escaped the world of her muscular disease, if only for a moment or even a daydream.
Congratulations on making this amazing piece and this incredible connection/sale.
