I visited my sister in California this past summer. I sent her this picture because I wanted to thank her for being a great host to me. She left home at 16 years old and we are both in our mid sixties now. I wanted her to have a nice memory of home. She loved it. The colors were so vibrant and the construction of the picture was very sturdy, a very nice piece to go on that bare wall in her dining room. The picture is the first thing a person will notice when entering the room plus a great conversation starter.
