Hi there neighbor! (Well, people tell me that it isn't too far from here to there.)

Great self portrait, I love all the character that you brought to it. While it is certainly a nod to Norman, it's not a rip off and it's completely personal. Wonderful style and ability to boot!

Hi Lacey!

You are just around the corner, or fence post, or something. I used to drive to KC a lot in the last 5 years when I was in the engineering field. (Up until 3 months ago). KC has a great art community and is home to one of my favorite artists, Dean Mitchell.

I love you website and work. A lot of depth in your work.

Oh wow - I love this.

First of all it is painted with such skill - but mostly its the sense of humor it portrays. So many things to look and and find like Alex said. Im going to echo her again about the supply cart - the top shelf of that with the palette and all may be my favorite part actually!

Kim-
Thank you so much. Painting the palette was the most fun. How do you paint the color of paint?

I squeezed the paint staight out of he tube onto the painting. the fun was was the brush work to make it look like the mess my pallette usually looks like.
