Greetings Robin,
I wanted to let you know my dad's reaction to his gift.
..... when he opened the portrait of himself as a young
sailor, his eyes filled with tears and we all could tell he was really
fighting openly weeping. My dad is not an emotional person and although he
was surrounded by family all day for his 80th, he
remained emotionally intact until he saw the portrait. He was completely
taken by surprise and overwhelmed.
Thanks so much for a job well done.

Collectors have many special requests; I was first asked to
create a portrait of a collector's son similar to one that the
father had of himself as a child, then the family continued to
grow and they have established a family tradition that will be
cherished for generations

"Robin created beautiful
portraits of our three children; each drawn between ages four and five. Now
with our daughter's picture completed we have the full set. Robin
captured her likeness and her sparkle. These are portraits we will
always treasure."
