A birthday celebration.

Today is my daughters birthday and I celebrate by starting my very first blog on Google. I hope to make many new friends with the posting of thoughts as well as my artistic impressions of my favorite subject, animals. I have been doing custom portraits of peoples pets as well as a variety of animals like tigers, giraffes, penguins and recently a series of cow paintings. A friend went to France and took many photos of the local cows. The pictures provided some great material and one of those paintings won honors as a "Best in Show" at the Attleboro Arts Museum Members Juried Exhibition in 2006. I hope to get some examples posted as soon as I can figure out how to get the images into the system. Thankyou and I look forward to hearing from anyone who might have something to say.
