Dear Shelly,
Just a quick note to tell you how much we LOVE the pictures... Every time I walk into our room,
I am reminded of our afternoon with both you and your wonderful husband in your beautiful garden.
Thank you so much.
Warmly,
Barb
Shelly... got the pictures on Monday and hung them today... they look terrific... you were so right. Size is perfect.
Thanks for your creativity and hard work.. it has paid off for us in our home.

Shelly,
I wanted to tell you how amazing the art I bought from you looks in my office. I hung it up right away and found myself strolling in 
Monday morning to see how it looked in different light... I LOVE it. It also helped keep me calm during a conference call today -
probably the first time of many.
Thank you for sharing your talent!

Hi Shelly,

Your "Aquamarine" arrived here today in great shape and looks wonderful! Thank you so much for doing the custom size and getting it here so quickly. I have already hung it and it looks great. I'm sure my guests will love it, as I do.
Hope to see you somewhere down in Florida next year. Have a good summer-
Susan

Shelly,
I appreciate all the attention you gave me at the Botanical Garden show on Sunday...
especially with the heat index at 200 degrees!
When I was walking back to the car, I was wondering how I was going to get it into my little Nissan Altima Coup -
Well, I should've been wondering where my car was!
I looked at the wrong lot number when I got there so it took a few miles of walking - carrying my beautiful picture -
before I finally found my car... It fit in through my trunk with the seats down - Thank Goodness!
I had it hanging over the fireplace when my husband got home. He loved it. He loves flowers too. It really brings the outside in.
Soooooo very happy with your beautiful artwork!!
Thanks again,
Pat

Dear Shelly-
What an absolute joy it is to have your work hanging in our house! I cannot thank you enough for the time and effort you put into everything from helping me choose our pictures to the finished products. They are simply perfect.
In our busy, fast paced world I was looking for something peaceful, still and beautiful which I found in your exquisite photography...
I am thrilled every time I look at them. I feel like they complete our house... like they were always meant to be there.
Thank you for everything!
Liza

Shelly-

It hung for the week, on Friday I took it down... I felt compelled to frame it ( the dingy wall in my office was smothering it :)
It's so funny.. a very serious looking a attorney works in the office next to me - hardly speaks.
Said nothing about he picture all week.
He glimpsed me taking it down and bellowed from the hallway, "WHY ARE YOU TAKING THE PICTURE DOWN?"
When I explained (I bought it for my office) and now wanted to frame it, he mumbled something and walked away...
I think that was his way of saying he liked it!
We are all enjoying your work very much!

Dear Shelly,
In quiet moments I think of you and your special talent of being able to capture the beauty of life.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Dear Shelly
Thank you so much! You and your husband are wonderful people and with your work have made the world a better place.
Everyday when I look at my beautiful garden picture, I smile.

Dear Shelly-
Thank you so much - I love my pictures. They look great in my home... perfect choices... perfect sizes. They are so beautiful!!!
They make me happy.
And  I love your book. I have read the warm, soothing prose and looked at the beautiful images over and over again.
It has been my constant companion in therapy, while I exercise my hand... taking me into the garden... to dream of far away places and feel moments of peace... as I dream about driving again... and having my freedom once more!!!

Shelly,

I met you at the St. James Art Fair in Louisville, KY. I took shelter in your exhibit during a downpour. I bought your
"In The Garden Collection" book and just love it.You are a very gifted, blessed and wonderfully talented lady.
Thanks for giving me shelter, thanks for an interesting conversation and for being such an artistic inspiration.
Wow, the world needs more of you.
God Bless You,
Paula

Hi Shelly,

We saw your work at the Glen Ellyn art fair last month and I was interested in a picture for a friend who lost her husband...
Your pictures were so moving I have to admit I couldn't talk to you about them anymore at the time because I got too emotional.
However, I have shown the images to a group of friends and we would like to make a purchase for her.
I will see you this weekend-
Thank you,
Alison
