A Gift From Lori Portka

I had to show you this beautiful painting I received in surprise a few weeks back.

Lovingly made by the sweet and lovely Lori Portka.

 

Lori was one of the very first people I met in the blogosphere a few years back

and we connected instantly because of our colour loving, sensitive and animal loving souls.

 

Lori did this super awesome & huge project called "A Hundred Thank-You's"

(you can read all about it right here on her blog).

She wrote down 100 people that she felt grateful & thankful towards and

then she set out to make every single one of those people an original painting!

 

 

I was so shocked and honored when Lori told me I was one of the people she made a painting for.

This was the sweet note that accompanied the painting in the exhibition &

that was sweetly tucked into the back of the painting.

 

 

Awwwww.

It really made me teary with gratitude towards this inspiring fellow artist I am lucky to call a friend.

 

I am so in love with it.  It hangs in a spot in my dining room where I get to see it every day.

It truly fills my heart with joy (Art is amazing that way, isn't it!)

and is such a beautiful reminder of the sweet & kind people out there.

 

 

Thanks my dear sweet friend....

your so awesome and your painting will be forever cherished.
