“Marilyn, I thought I wouldn’t cry, but I couldn’t help it.  I shed tears when I saw your painting of Sugar.  She was such a wonderful ‘granddog.’  You captured her personality.”       Annette K.

“I am the client described above [in the blog about the completed portrait 'Luz & Me.'] It was great to work with Marilyn. It is true about the glass when I opened the box I lightly tapped the face of the painting because I thought they had forgotten the glass. The process was great particularly because I had a particular scenario in mind, my wife sitting comfortable under a tree (me) with our regular friday wine (notice I have more : ) ) and with our two cats… the blue persa in the back passed away six years ago. I am so happy with the results I got teary eyed. Anyway I recommend marilyn to anyone.”

“Marilyn, you captured my heart and soul in your painting of ‘Misty.’  It makes me feel good every time I look at it.  Misty was the best dog I ever had.”  Denise S.

We absolutely love this portrait, and (being his parents) we can say Marilyn definitely did a fabulous job of portraying Caleb’s personality. We’re not at all surprised that it won an award because the way she has captured him really shows her talent! Thanks Marilyn!

    Andy DoerrHi Marilyn,Sorry it took so long for me to get this done. You can use all or parts of it depending on what works best and I’ll send you the postcards too:”Marilyn Jacobson’s “Fiddler” captures the spirit of the fiddler and traditional Old Time American music perfectly. It’s exactly the image we were looking for to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Old Time Fiddlers’ Convention and Festival in Goleta, California. The festival is a world-class event presenting the finest in acoustic music and one of the premier Old Time music contests on the West Coast. Since the “Fiddler” it’s a real pleasure to see that Marilyn has painted several musicians in a style that brings to mind the vibrancy of Matisse and Jacob Lawrence. She truly brings the music and the people she paints to life in all their creative abundance.”Andy Doerr, Director40th Annual Old Time Fiddlers’ Convention and Festivalwww.fiddlersconvention.org
