Those of you who regularly check my blog have seen some version of this in the past. I am not resurrecting a dead image here for no reason, so bear with me. This is, as a amateur photographer, my favorite all-time photo (that I have, myself, taken):
Through my account on DeviantArt.com I have come into contact with people all around the world, of various interests and talents, most at least somewhat artistically inclined. Enter Karen, one of my newest "friends", from the Netherlands.
She commented on a river-reflections photo that I posted recently, and said something about someday perhaps painting a version of it. I told her she was welcome to, anytime.
I didn't right away, but eventually, told her that I'd like to see my favorite photo painted. This was like two days ago. This morning when I looked at my 'watch list' of new pieces, this was there. Wow!!! I am so honored and flattered by her interpretation. This was done as an oil painting, the photographed for this display.

Your friend Karen did a wonderful interpretation of your photo. Both are so beautiful and very inspiring. Isn't heaven just behind those clouds?
Very nice painting. It's always a great feeling to take a photo that inspires others.
Yes, she did... and yes, it is. :)
It was an honor to have that painting done. I have a copy of the photograph print in a large format, but I'd love to get a large copy made of her version, too.

Karen, you're welcome here anytime. I have been a little slow to write in the past few months - been a bit distracted by the camera thing. :)
Thank you for the painting.
