Commissioned Painting

MARCO ISLAND, PHOTO BY FRED SIMCIC



This is a great story!! Fred had taken this wonderful photo of a sunset on Marco Island and decided to give a special birthday gift to his fiancee. This is where I came into the picture. He wanted me to paint a painting of the scene in watercolor on a 15x22 sheet of paper, to surprise his fiancee on her birthday. I finished the painting in December.

They were coming home from a trip and he talked her into stopping by my house. They were both very tired, so she could not understand the stop. But to her surprise there was this wonderful wrapped gift for her.

What do you think of this painting????
