sincere and have such reasonably kind expressions. Also thank you very much

It will be so lovely in the new room to hang your work of art.

“This painting was the “ICING ON THE CAKE” for our 40th wedding anniversary. The grouping you designed for us gives us the feeling of being close while we are separated by distance in other locations. Our children and grandchildren mean everything to us, and this painting brings our world together for all time” Thank you very much”

of the most special day of my life. With your insight and creativity, we now have
a spectacular result which went far beyond my ideas or expectations.
From the facial expressions, to the portrait composition, you decided it all,
and I could never express in just a few words my overwhelming appreciation for
what you created for me! What a grand experience!!! My husband a I both thank
you personally,delivering a painting much better than I dreamed possible!!!”
Joyce La Rue Larson

Dick, we wanted to thank-you for the unbelievable painting you created for us.
Words cannot describe our feelings. You have captured a moment and feelings
within our family that could not have been captured any other way.
We received it a week ago and wanted to try and put our thoughts and thanks into words and
needed to give it time, but have come to realize no amount of time will give us
the ability to truly replicate our feelings of gratitude to you.
Your professionalism from the start has been uncompromising and unparalleled,
and the experience will now live with us forever, and for that
we will be forever grateful.”
Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts
Marc and Lisa

“I want to thank you for the stunningly beautiful portrait of our children.
Seeing the portrait for the first time was breathtaking and we find ourselves
taking in its beauty with each viewing. What a treasure you have created for us to
enjoy throughout our lifetime! Thank you for your time and it was a pleasure
meeting and working with you. We hope to work with you again.”
“Most Sincerely,
Lynda and Jeff”

“…Jeff brought Beth over last night to see our portrait of the kids. She thought it was beautiful!!!!
He then had her turn around to see her birthday present—it was a Kodak moment—her eyes were as large as saucers, and her mouth was so wide opened that her chin almost hit the floor! She could hardly talk.
Thanks to you, we pulled off a total surprise! It’s already hanging over at their house and looks wonderful!!!!
Thanks for such a great job on both paintings!”-Ron & Tana

Dick and Patty, we have the Painting, it is up and hanging and it is BEAUTIFUL!!

We love walking downstairs every morning, the first thing we see is this beautiful painting of our entire family!! Our friends have heard us talking about your work

Thank you again!

“Dear Dick, I have just opened the box with our incredible Painting.
I am absolutely speechless! Mere words cannot express the joy and disbelief at your unbelievable work!

It turned out so amazing! Buddy and I have had so many portraits and paintings of our family

but none compares to yours!

My precious children are breathtaking in these portraits. I never knew that I could look
so good as well!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Please contact me if you ever need a reference. We are thrilled!

“Today started off with a wimper but finished with a bang! Linda was walking our dog Roscoe this morning when he decided to run after a squirrel. He pulled Linda so hard that she fell, landing on her elbow. She now has a cast on for the next 8 weeks. We came home tired and cranky. As we pulled into the driveway, we could see this large crate inside the garage. I eagerly opened it. We must have stared at it for five minutes with saying hardly more than WOW!!!. We have seen many of your work but we are predudiced and think our portraiture is one of the best we have ever seen. Our thanks go to you and Patty for walking us through the whole process. You did everything on schedule and made us very comfortable in the time span you mentioned.
“Put us on your referral list as you get the highest marks (and barks from Roscoe) from us!”

Well I opened my portrait today, I thought it was just BEAUTIFUL!!!

I was surprised to see my hair down since it was done up for the portrait sitting.

I thought it was so complimentary to see the entire picture. Actually, I was always worried about my hair up.

I have never even taken a picture with it up.

Dick, you did a WONDERFUL JOB!!!

I am sure when friends and family see this, you will probably get some calls.

Take care, stay in touch. Thanks again!…Susie

BARBARA MANDRELL & DAUGHTER JAMIE

WE LOVE THIS PAINTING AND IT WILL BE A PERFECT ADDITION DISPLAYED IN THE FONTANEL DINING ROOM AS A WELCOME PART OF THE TOUR!

With love from Theodosia and Niels Kjeldsen

Dick Zimmerman is a true artist. Look at his work and will you see something special.
Recently he did a portrait for me that I used as a present to my wife at our anniversary.
It had an strong emotional impact on her right away and everybody who have seen it since loves the picture.
With his own style and contemporary way of making portraits, a new trend is ongoing.
A few people have the ability to express the spirit in paintings but Zimmerman knows how to do it. Also he seems to be able to catch the beauty in people.
Get your portraits done now before the rush, one painter can only do so much. It might be a good investment also.
