It’s Been A While!
April 3, 2017
Where does the time go??? I can’t believe how long it has been since my last post here. So much has been going on that has kept me out of the studio and focused on family, holidays, and other obligations I just haven’t been able to paint much. I take that last part back, I … More It’s Been A While!

First Things First
April 23, 2016
