I am grateful to be born with an artistic talent. Every painting is my chance to be the creator of the image and it's always somewhat of a surprise to see the end result. It can be a struggle sometimes to complete a painting and knowing when to stop is part of the process. I often consult my children to see if I “nailed it ” or if it “draws you in”. Some turn out better than others. The biggest joy to me is when someone really likes a painting and wants it displayed in their home. Thank you to everyone who has purchased paintings from me in recent years. I have painted several hundred paintings and they're all out there somewhere. Thank you again!
