Description
Art prints of this painting are also available without house numbers so you can add your own name or number. See STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART image also in this gallery.
The original painting was commissioned by a gentleman from Florida. Initially he wished to purchase my original painting of two little girls at a country mailbox called GRANDMA'S LETTER; however the painting had been sold. When he told me about his granddaughter who grew up fascinated by their mailbox, I offered to paint her at their own mailbox. He sent me some photos of her with a stuffed animal and ponytails at about age 12 and some photos of their mailbox. I painted her quite a bit younger, changed the perspective of their mailbox and created this scene with back-lighting entirely from my imagination. The painting is a gift for their granddaughter who is graduating from university this year.
Thank you to the hosts of the following groups for featuring my painting! I appreciate your kind support and encouragement.
