I'd be happy to paint it! You've done so much, and I can't tell you how much it will mean to have this piece. My dad could paint, so I'll try to 'channel' that! I meant to say I did pet portraits, as well as wildlife. Here's a couple of my drawings I still have around.

This part of the garden has a bit of the English Garden feel. Just need to work on the rest of it.

Katie signed the 1882 autograph book when she was 19. Her family left a legacy of wealth and community service, and a descendant who became a well-known quarterback.
