"On a winter's night, with snowflakes silently drifting down, the peace of the moment allows us to feel what is truly in our heart. At times like this, a special gift will bond lovers, friends or families with memories that last forever. Although circumstances differ, 'The Gift' is closely related to an earlier painting , 'As Time Goes By' when Grandpa presents his treasured watch to his grandson. Gifts can mean many things, but to receive one out of love, is the most cherished gift of all."
