She agreed to my monthly payments and this past Sunday the 12th I picked up my gorgeous birds with a Seattle skyline view.
Here's my painting:

Lynne told me that she was showing her artwork at a restaurant in Magnolia, Szmanias and it was where she had eaten brunch. After our meeting, I remember that I hadn't eaten lunch or breakfast yet, so I headed over there for brunch.
Being the single girl with no family up here I plum forgot that it was Easter brunch. No matter, Karen (the lovely hostess and manager at Szmanias) sat me at the bar where I met her husband and Michelle the bartender.
I told them that I ended up eating there because of my meeting with Lynne and that I bought one of her works.
I had a beautifully presented delicious two course Easter brunch and then I headed to Cupcake Royale in Ballard to meet up with a friend.
This is a place we usually meet up for coffee but the irony of choosing it that day was that it was where I first saw the painting I just bought.
In a bit of roundabout way, Lynne influenced my entire day. Who knew?
A personal note about the artist- she is lovely in person, very nice and sincere, and really cares about her art. I also received a thank you note a day or two later which was an extra special touch I hadn't expected.
Need a new piece of artwork or inspiration?
