Hello Ellie Goulding! Fan & Art inside

Dear Ellie Goulding,

about 2 weeks ago I stumbled upon a post written by this beautiful girl on steemit.com, Tamara ( Hive account@tamara1989 ). She's ukrainian, mother of a cute little girl and a passionate painter. She lived previously in Donetsk until her house got bombed during the war, so she had to flee with her family. But I hope she is safe now...

she posted:

You wanna I make YOU portrait? Write in the comments, send your photos by choosing one and make a portrait! FREEE!!!

Just for fun I thought I would give this girl a chance, especially because she offered her talent for free. And since I am a huge fan of you I did not even had to think twice about who she should paint on a portrait for me. So I asked her to paint this picture of you, don't ask why, I just love it and in that very moment it helped me to express my scepticism.

Two weeks were gone and Hive account@tamara1989 had a pretty hard time because she was (accidentally?) downvoted or flagged without any reason by a clumsy whale called Hive account@dantheman (Dan if you read this please consider to remove your flag). Now you may ask what the heck is getting flagged and how should this be done by a sea creature... Well I cannot explain this to you in short but if you getting interested in how Steem works you can start your journey here. (hint: Steemit.com is free but you can earn money for posting)

Back to Topic...
Two days ago I contacted Tamara again and asked about the portrait and she promised to start working on it immediately. Then finally a couple of hours ago she posted her work here. I think she did a really great job and I like it so much that I want her to send it to me (I surely will find an adequate place for it in my flat).

I have not yet asked her but I believe until now Tamara had no idea of who she was actually painting on this portrait (Hive account@tamara1989 If you read this please let us know if you were aware of who is actually on your picture).

I just wanted to share this story with you and my fellow Steemians because the circumstances of how this beautiful art came into existence just cannot be coincidence. :D
