Needs a "Title" 22x24

22x24"

Just finished this afternoon. Sadly enough, It had taken me all summer long to get through this. I lost my excitement to finish it between kids, trips, and so on...
I sense that there is something that needs work. I'll let it set for awhile and come back to it with fresh eyes. I'm needing a good name for this one. If you can come up with a great title and I select it, I'll send you a free giclee' of it measuring around (12 x 12").

Out of the gates!

It's about time I did this blogging thing! I've been stumbling through it all and I hope to get it up and rolling soon. Will be posting artwork, adventures, and anecdotes of my life as an artist in the Pacific Northwest. Hope you will enjoy this ride as much as I do!
