Erik Nitsche (Swiss, 1908 - 1998) "Thank You" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media on Illustration Board.

Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.

This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 22c Thank You! stamp issued April 20, 1987.

Thank You! How many times have we said it in our lives. How many times should we have, but didn't. And, how many times have we been pleased to hear it said sincerely. These two simple, succinct words can add a whole new dimension to relationships. Friendships have been cemented by a simple "Thank you for being my friend." Marriages have been built on a "Thank you for your love and for being there." And great, lasting loves have been founded on a "Thank you for just being you." Sometimes just a "Thank you for thinking of me," lets people know that you care, too. And often, just a simple "Thank you" can cover a multitude of situations from the special to the mundane: an unexpected old friend arrives to help celebrate at a wedding ... a seat on a bus courteously offered ... a borrowed book returned ... the salt properly passed at dinner. We are so lucky to have words such as these at our disposal to express our sincerest gratitude. This artwork makes that statement by use of bright colors and large, bold letters, reminding someone special of your gratitude with every glance.
