You’re welcome. I posted it on Facebook and someone asked what a painting like that costs. I said I didn’t know.

It would depend on the size and what medium I use. In acrylic on a 12X16 gallery wrap canvas I charge 100.00 and on a 16X20 it would be 125.00. In oil or a larger canvas the price goes up.

BONJOUR ELIZABETH
Je t’emmène du bonheur
il est à côté de toi
Surtout ne bouge pas
Tiens ! il s’est glissé dans ton sourire
Oh ! Le voilà dans ta belle demeure
Pour embellir ta journée de joie et que ta soirée te soit de tout repos
Pour toi je me dis que c’est la meilleure raison
Alors partageons ensemble ce bonheur avec tous ceux que l’on aime et que l’on apprécie
Regarde il brille soit comme le soleil au lever du jour ou une étoile dans la nuit
Que Ce Bonheur restent l’histoire d’un beau jour
Je te souhaite
Une très belle journée ou une belle soirée
Bisous Bernard Ton Ami

Thank you for the lovely comment, Rita. xo Although it’s a practice painting on cardboard, I quite like it too, enough so that I framed and hung it. 🙂
