A little bit of progress on this piece is happening .  I try to do a little here and there between filling print orders and portrait orders.  BUT, it’s also a good way to stay fresh, when I burn out on one thing I move over to another and it seems to work. (you can [...]

Here’s another new painting in my ‘bathers’ series.  It seems particularly appropriate, as it is ridiculously hot here. And I have a request, pretty, pretty please vote for my friend Karen to win a week at a surf camp.  To say she is an inspiration does not do her justice.
