Hi everyone.. I've been quiet for sometime with so much going on, some of you may notice I've gone from "Smith" back to "Sparrow".. all is great, I opened a new working art studio in Shelby and since moving to a visible space uptown life has been busier than ever but so fun! (you can see my new studio on our Facebook page "hanging the moon").

I was honored to be chosen to be the first official artist of the American Legion World Series since it began in 1925. I painted the commemorative 48x60 painting, which will hang in the newly completed LeGrand Convention Center with the plan being I will do one every year going forth. Below is a picture of me with Lieutenant General William Ingram, Jr. of the Army National Guard. (We also discussed doing his portrait!)
