I just had the pleasure of spending the last hour with one of my all time favorite, lovely customers and friend, and when I say lovely, she truly is. And a fellow creative spirit, and lover of the arts, she is as well. Debra was one of the first people to see in me and my art, what you now see. She believed in me in my early days of selling paintings. She was also one of the first people to take my workshops. (of which we just planned another one coming up in April, so stay tuned!) She has become a collector of my paintings throughout the last few years, attending my shows, buying art from other artists I’ve introduced her to. In every way that she could show support and enthusiasm for my endeavors, she has and I can’t thank her enough. And with that said, it was an honor to paint her beautiful golden retriever Hunter, who I’m sharing with you today.

(And Debra, I know you check in the blog from time to time, so I just want to say THANK YOU for everything and I’ll see you in April!)
