May 2nd, 2012 - This was a wonderful letter and photo that we received! Get your own painting here
Dear Dorothy,
Today I hung the painting, "Sunday Morning with Granny," over the fireplace mantle in the den. It's amazing that the original photo, a decades' old 3 inch-by-3 inch, grainy photo taken with a 110 camera could be reproduced into such a wonderful piece of art! I placed a professionally enhanced and enlarged replication of the original picture next to the painting and snapped a photo. The resulting photo (attached) does not do the painting justice, given the opportunity to see it in person! Even without the glare from the flash, a photo simply cannot capture the richness, attention to detail, and depth of the colors in the painting. Although my great-grandmother (whom we called "granny") has long since passed, I think she would love it. It was very special to me to have Mr. Best memorialize my great-grandmother, with whom I would enjoy watching episodes of the Dukes of Hazzard as a kid on Friday nights when I was lucky enough to be allowed to spend the night at granny's house. Who knew that "Rosco" would someday paint me a picture! In all seriousness and sincerity, this painting is very special and I want to thank Mr. Best for taking on this challenge and doing such a wonderful job. From the early iterations to the final product, it is clear that Mr. Best does this, first and foremost, as a labor of love. To both Mr. Best and you for all your help, Ms. Dorothy, I am much abliged!
Best regards,
Dr. E. Kent Malone
