A Love Story

One of my tennis friends, the Mr., commissioned me to create two paintings for his wife (I know her, too)
as a surprise gift honoring their long marriage.

He wanted to remember the first time he laid eyes on her…in the produce section of Marketime Foods in Fremont, WA. !!!! My photographer, Toni Pinto, and I headed over to Marketime for a photoshoot, and put together several images for The Mr. to choose from.

The result: “Marketime: I Saw You Standing There”, oil on canvas, 24”x36”

Mr. also wanted a painting of the place for their First Date, Bizzarro Italian Cafe, in Wallingford, WA. So, again, Toni & I headed there for a photoshoot…

The result: Bizzarro Italian Cafe: First Date, oil on canvas, 24”x36”

The Mr.’s email note of gratitude is so worthy of sharing: What does a Ken Griffey 500-foot shot and art from Susan Walker have in common? Massive Home Run!!

“The Mrs. was really moved. Both our boys were in town and they had a chance to experience it with us. No one will ever forget it. She had no idea. The colors, the detail, your interpretation, everything turned out so well. Thanks again for all of your work on this project…now we have something beautiful and meaningful that will always be with us. “
