What an amazing gift he is! My wife is doing great and so is Gabe!

Gallery went great!

Well, my exhibition at the Sugar Creek Art Center in Thorntown, IN ended as good as I could have hoped! The reception went amazing! They said it was their largest crowd thus far. So far I have sold four pieces, and one possible commission. I can't wait for my next opportunity. Here are a few pictures from the reception. I had an amazing time! Thank you to all the folks at the Sugar Creek Art Center, and especially to my wonderful wife, and family!

A new year and a new medium!

This Christmas my wife bought a Derwent water color pencil set for me! And I love it!
I did a test with the pencils a few months ago, using a friend's set.
This sketch/painting came from a picture of a cottage store in Brown County, Indiana. I also
added some ink to it afterwords.
