Once again, I feel thrilled Love for my Clients. This happens so often these days. I don't understand that I get so emotionally involved with the people that I know lightly for just a few hours. I do have a very Loving Husband and Family. They thrill me tooooo.

I guess that if you are feeling true Love for one, then another, and another, and they are loving you back, you get to the point that you are feeling the Love with many others.

Here is a picture from an event that I drew for a Lady who knew me from an event where I had drawn 8 years ago. She still had those Caricatures on her wall (framed), and now she really Searched to find me again ~ saying that she wanted only me to draw for her, or else she would not have been arranging for Caricatures at all. And they took real good care of me at their Party too. Oh Wow ~ I felt blown away with the Love.

I love my customers. I love my repeat clients. So many interesting people that I can meet in the world.

Here are some pictures taken after I did Face Painting at an 8-year old girl's Party. For a Client who has been hiring me once or twice every year since I met her back when she was first Pregnant with the beautiful girl who just turned 8. Sometimes Caricatures, Sometimes Face Painting.

After the girls were all painted, my client let me walk around her beautiful home so she could show me the Caricatures that were hanging in her husband's office. I had drawn them at her Big Family Reunion when she was Pregnant with the girl who had just turned 8. That was Nine Years Ago.

And here she is today. Standing next to her Caricature from nine years ago. I can still see her resemblance, even though she changed some things like her hairstyle and glasses.

I feel happy to see that my Artwork can become a solid part of people's lives. And I feel blown away when I see it hanging in a home that includes some of the best Artists ever. It felt rude to just keep snapping photos of Everything in the woman's home, so I only asked to photograph this one Keith Haring picture which was just too magnetic for me. It looks like just the right thing to see while we run around all day handling so many different things:

What we see affects how we interpret our situations.

And here are some of the Face Paintings that I did at this 8-year-old Girl's Birthday Party. She arranged for a 'My Little Pony' Theme.

I just realized that I could have been posting the pictures of the people actually responding to my Caricatures in a separate section called Reactions. That shows what actually happens in the moment!

You can see lots of these Reactions all over this blog. Here I'll pull out just a few of them ~ a few in which the guests were quite animated. Photos that were quickly snapped as soon as they saw their completed Caricatures.

Bringing Out the Joy that People have inside them. I feel so happy to give them opportunity to tap into their Joy

It's always a pleasant surprise when I go back to a repeat customer and find a really good presentation of the pictures I had drawn previously. This photo was taken at an event I did This year. It's a photo of the client next to the picture that hangs in her hallway ~ of Caricatures that I had drawn at her party several Years ago. Look at the neat frame! And the way the pictures of her family combined so appropriately for her. Wow
