"Hi Julea, I saw one of your paintings at my brother's house and I really liked it! I was looking at your website and I was wondering if you'd be able to make a custom painting like Dancing Wave but larger? "

I am always delighted to receive emails from people I haven't yet met, like this one — and the answer was "yes"! I arranged to meet the client and his partner on a video call and we discussed how they would like me to create a custom painting for their new home.
