I have notified escrow.com that I have received the painting and accepted it. The painting was well packaged. I was a skeptic at first regarding buying a painting on the internet, but the transaction went so smoothly. Thank you for your assistance. The painting, "Spring High Water" by Mr. Surov is beautiful. It looks like it was commissioned for our library. I would like to email you a photo of the painting once it is framed. I also would like to email the photo to Mr. Surov so he can see his painting's new home. If you have his email I would appreciate it.
Thank you, Anna, for taking care of me and delivering this fine painting.
Let the artist know after losing everything 18 months ago in a house fire including much fine art, we will give this lovely painting a good home.
In 1994-1996 I taught for the world Bank in many places in Russia (and bought a lot of art). I would like to come back soon.
The painting was well packed and arrived in fine shape.
