You did such a great job on this painting. I really love it, the expression in the eyes, her cute outfit, everything. Love you!
Wonderful. I’m sure that is very precious to her.
What a wonderful gift to share.
I can imagine how comforting it is to look at this painting. I can see the emotion you painted into it. Beautiful!
