My upcoming solo show at the Heliconian Club in April is called The Art of Celebration.
My life as a painter has been all about celebrating the things I love in my life.
These two paintings celebrate my beautiful niece Chloé who posed for me for these
portraits about getting ready to go to a dance, and falling asleep after the party.

I love the paintings, the light and expression.

Sadly my niece is no longer with us.  She suffered a severe depression over
mistaken thoughts that her boyfriend was cheating, in October 2017, and ended
 it all.  He wasn't and was broken hearted.

Have a doing what matters day.
