"The portrait was amazing!!!  Rich's family was overjoyed as were the rest of us who came to know him.  The quality of the work you did was second to none.  Thank you for taking the time and putting forth the obvious effort to complete the day for us and provide us with something very special."
Sincerely, Jamie Hart

"Not a day goes by that I do not look at, and enjoy this portrait. This was a once in a life time expense that I would endure, and have found it to be worth every penny spent. There is not a single picture hanging in my house that I enjoy as much as I do this one. Again, after a year of enjoyment, I want to thank you for a wonderful family keep sake."
Sincerely,
Denise C. Canter

"We can not tell you how much we LOVE the portraits of Madison!  As you said, they are more beautiful in person.  Thank you for helping us to make this a most special Christmas gift and hopefully, we will have several more in the near future to order. You are the BEST deal around...that's for sure and you make it so easy. Thanks again, Jerry.  Merry Christmas to you and yours."
Judy Martelli

"I do not have enough adjectives in my vocabulary to tell you how wonderful, fabulous, perfect the portrait of our kids is.  I do not recall ever being so moved and crying so much for joy. Thank you for helping make this a fabulous fifty for me."
Sincerely, Amy Makson

After raising a family and retiring as a realtor, interior designer, and business owner, Nita found that she was able to fulfill her lifelong interest in painting.....particularly portraits of people and pets, chldren being her specialty.  Her painting style and clarity of detail have made her work well known in her hometown of Gainesville, Florida  with an ever-growing customer base.  Her paintings also hang in private homes around the country....all due to "word of mouth".  She has an unusual ability to capture the "spirit" of her subjects so that viewers feel they've seen more of that person or pet than the rest of the world sees.
 
Nita completed the TruPaint training course in the summer of 2007 and credits it with enabling her to complete her paintings creatively and efficiently in a most reasonable length of time.  Photographs submitted by clients or those taken by her daughter-partner, Wendy Butler, are the sources of her work.
