Here’s what Jean had to say:

“I was fortunate enough to win a painting from Mike. It is absolutely stunning, the quality of his work is beyond exceptional! I have known Mike since we were kids and have admired his work. He truly has a gift and I would highly recommend him! I will enjoy my painting for years to come! 
 
Thanks again Mike”
