Anita was one of those rare people you meet on the internet and grow to love. She was helpful and especially kind to me and when i hadn't uploaded an image for a month or so, she called and expressed her concern. She was a remarkable lady. Alan

I knew Anita as a child, especially in elementary school. We were in touch again through our high school reunion last year and that's when I learned of her talent. I was amazed at her work and she generously offered to paint my baby granddaughter, Emmy. Her mother cried when she saw it because it was so beautiful! I gave it to her as a Christmas gift so I never got to tell Anita about her reaction......I'm sure she knows, as she is looking down on all of us from her new heavenly home. May God continue to comfort her husband and family. Donna

Gordon Stanhope/Anita's husband Tomorrow is anita's memorial at our church. As I sit here reading everyones comments It causes me to cry. At times I hated her art because she was a true artist. When it was time to go to bed, she would want to stay up and finish a picture. She reminded me of Dali{crazy but a true artist}. I loved Anita with all my heart and soul and I learned to love her work. I have printed many pictures she made or took to post. I think I would like to print out this special memorial and include it in the service.ANITA, CHECK THE PEARLY GATES FROM TIME TO TIME AS I WILL SEE YOU ONE GLORIOUS DAY. SHE LOVED EACH AND EVERYONE OF YA'LL. GOD BLESS.

I posted a comment here before, but do not see it now, so I just want to say agian that I miss Anita very much. She was a lovely sharing person and she helped me very much with my digital painting both in this group, and in personal emails. I'm so glad I got the chance to know her. Tana

Anita was one of the very special people in this world and we were all blessed to know her and some of us ere blessed to have either met her personally or talked to her on the phone as I did. Her lovely southern sweet voice will always be a special memory in my heart and mind. Her talent and sharing are re-known in our little digital art world.

I admired Anita not only for her artistic abilities and for sharing, instructing, etc., but for her love of animals. She shared many photos of the baby squirrels she saved, and her beloved little dogs and puppies. Our Lord gave Anita many gifts.

The great art historian Bernard Berensen was once asked that common yet seemingly complex and always controversial question "What is art?": he replied, simply, "Art is that which enhances life". Anita Stanhope embodied that definition, and was, within herself and to all those she touched, a living work of art. Her memory will be cherished, and her beauty will not be diminished by her passing.

Anita was a very special person. She was my best friend and sister in Christ. She had such a creative talent and never hesitated to share her knowledge with those of us experimenting (and struggling) with digital art. She always saw the good in people and encouraged those around her with her positive attitude. I want to personally thank her online friends. You all meant so much to her and brought light and life to her thirsty soul. She cherished her relationship with all of you and spoke highly of many of you. Some of you helped to advance her artistic talent by challenging her - she always appreciated that even when it got on her nerves. You know who you are. I have enjoyed watching her art progress over the last few years and seeing the joy she experienced every time she taught herself or learned something new from you. I don't think she realized just how talented she was. She just loved to paint. It was her passion and her work will be forever cherished by all who knew her and maybe some who didn't. Thank you again for sharing her passion. Please continue doing what you love. I love you dearly, Anita, and miss you terribly. But, I know that I will see you again and we can stroll together down streets of gold. Until then, I will take your advice and do something for myself every once in awhile. Life is too short not to live each day to its fullest.

Indeed a wonderful tribute to your mother Tyler. She was very gifted and I'm certain she has her hands full painting all the angels in heaven.
