Thank you JC! / ¡Gracias JC!

A few months ago I knitted a lopapeysa for my friend JC that lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Maybe you remember this picture of him:


Well, last week I got this package from the post office:


Yes! A package from JC! He chose a picture from my Flickr gallery (which is the same I have as avatar for my blog :) and made this:

¡Gracias JC!
Rodrigo en Þingvallavatn 
When I took it out of the box I couldn't believe how wonderful the painting was! It is just perfect! This is the first time that someone makes a painting of me... it is weird (but a good kind of weird, of course) to see one's self painted! Isn't it beautiful!?


¡Gracias JC!
This isn't a very good picture. There was something strange going on with the light today... I don´t know. This is just so you can have an idea of the size of the painting.


Now I have to find someone who can frame it nicely to hang it :)

Thank you so much JC for such a wonderful piece of art and friendship!

    I did remember the picture of JC right away (before seeing it) and the wonderful lopapeysa you knit for him. What an amazing gift to give in return! It is truly amazing and what a treasure to have a painting of yourself. However, I actually laughed out loud when I saw the picture with you holding the painting with your serious, stern, staring into the camera face! I think I like your smiling, painted face better.:-) You look so nice smiling. Have you decided on what kind of frame you want for it? Where it will hang once framed? Will look forward to seeing the finished product.:-) Keep on smiling! :-)

    Gracias, thanks, merci, takk etc...! Nobody ever praised me this much, i'm flattered! The owner deserved it! But i should say that the picture that shocked me the most is the parcel i've sent from Buenos Aires... IT'S SMASHED! I wonder how it came that way to Iceland!
    Bueno, besos a todos!
