  • The time I almost died … also this painting.

    Getting close to finishing this wedding portrait of my niece and her Christopher. Tomorrow I’m going to start a painting about a time I could have died. I think I’ll do a series.

  • And We’re Off

    Painted Tree, Homestead, PA, opened on Saturday, and I’m happy to say I sold a painting just a couple of hours after opening. I do hope that you’ll stop by and check out the booth, whether you’re shopping for gifts, for yourself, or you’re just nosy! Nothing wrong with that!  I must admit that I…
