"Behind Blue Eyes"

Acrylic on canvas: 24 in. x 36 in.

One final post for 2011.  Thank you Pete for all the wonderful music that has brought so much joy to my life.  The past couple weeks have been busy with the holidays and the kids off of school.  I'm looking forward to 2012 and have many ideas for paintings I'd like to do in the coming year. I wish everyone peace, happiness, and creativity in 2012.

Upcoming exhibition

Two of my paintings (Jimi Hendrix and Beatles) have been selected for the upcoming exhibition "The Art of Music" at Flow Art Space in Minneapolis.  The exhibit will run from Feb. 15 through Feb. 25, 2012.

I won!! Thank you The Who!!!!

The Who and Talenthouse have announced that I won the "5:15" video contest!  I am so excited and honored to have been chosen.  I'm a big Who fan, so this is really a dream come true.  I persuaded my son to pose for this picture with me and the remnants of my painting.  I bought that shirt for him three years ago and he's still growing into it.  Thank you to The Who, Talenthouse, and everyone who has supported me.  I intend to make the most of this opportunity-- 2012 is going to be a great year!
