St. Jude’s big event — An Affair of the Art – was spectacular. This sixth annual event was classy and well attended – as is fitting for such a worthwhile cause.

Happy Birthday, Elvis
During my Hollywood Video years, one of my favorite subjects to paint was Elvis. I painted several large Elvis murals in the Hollywood Video stores, mostly throughout the Northwest – Portland, and Seattle. Few still exist.

2015
It was an eventful year for sure. And a good year, too. All-in-all though, I’m especially excited for the forthcoming year. 2016 is going to be amazing. But, before I get ahead of myself, I need to wrap up my semi-annual quasi-year-end summary blog.
