The Story behind “Serenity”
Is there always a story behind a painting? Well, no. Sometimes paintings come just from my soul eyes. Sometimes they are a direct commision piece, such as a pet portrait, or even a full on portrait, which I do sparingly. Dogs don't complain if they are old in the...

New Ideas for Gift Giving
Yes, I know. I'm not the most prolific poster. While I've said it before, I am trying to be more diligent on that score. For this holiday coming, I've set up a page of smaller, less expensive works that fit well in the gift giving genre. In addition, I'm working...
Believe it or not, I’m still here!
