I am a portrait and still life painter, and landscape artist as often as I can lift my brush. That is usually every day. The mind paints as readily as the hand.

11-11-11 For the men and women who serve us....

.....in all branches of our Armed forces today and those who have served in the past, to those who gave the ultimate and  for those who came home broken in body and spirit:
Your brave and selfless sacrifice on our behalf will never be forgotten. Among the too many of recent past, my uncles, cousins and friends, and their families: my profound and deepest gratitude.
