Paula Deen as Mrs. Claus

 This past Christmas, I had an idea for a painting. Mr. and Mrs. Claus. 
We'll the sketch turned out to look so much like Paula Deen, that I decided
to use her and her husband as my models. This was the result. 
However, I posted it on her website and it was shared so much that
eventually Paula herself saw it and loved enough to print it and
send me an autographed copy of my painting. (see below). 
What a wonderful gift! 

I'm hoping to sell prints and maybe cards of this on my etsy site soon.  If you are interested, email me at samaraspring@hotmail.com and I'll put you on the list.  I'll update everyone once I have that ready.


here's what she sent to me via snail mail...
