several lifetimes. Consistent with her generous nature and unconquerable spirit, Kim Barker of laketrees refuses to yield to the tragedies that may befall our fortunes, and unwittingly leads us to the very foundation of why these fortunes were made in the first place - those we love.

Hi Fitness Diva,
It is a great gift to give to your loved one. Of course, some would want to give it to themselves by being the subject of the portrait. There's nothing wrong with that too. Why not join, you may be immortalized in oil! :-) --Durano, done!
