This is one of my favorite meals "Pho." Michael and David were down at the studio and went to lunch with me. This is their most common and much loved pose for me to soot. 
If you can't tell which twin this is. . . . . .it is the one who is always sticking his finger in his nose. (As if that would narrow it down!)
This picture represents many, many tears. The kittens "William" and "Harry" went missing and for the longest time we thought they really gone. We searched every square inch of the house and for days they were lost. Even "Lady" their mother couldn't find them. Then after two and a half very long and sad weeks. David found them burried in the gorillia costume he keeps in his closet. Pictures to follow.
I have been doing a lot of research on koi for my upcoming paintings. I shot this picture out at Robin's and really like it. Not so much for its composition or anything like that but because the koi on the left seems to be floating above the water. More to follow.
I know, way boring picture but it is here to show that we made it in. This is the conference room that was such a mess. We are down to a few punch list items and a few more pieces of art to add but the space came out better than we had hoped. Go see the third floor of the Walker Center, "Smith Hartvigsen" Very cool space if we do say so ourselves.
Annie's Birthday and here she is in her Birthday Hat! Next birthday is Katherine's and now she is already asking about her hat. She wants to be a fashion designer and I think wants to have creative input on the design of her hat. Well see. . .
Mom sent me an email with a photo of my niece's daughter wearing one of the hats she hand knits with the request to turn it into a logo for her web site. Here is what I came up with. Hope it works out. Love you both
We had a farewell party for John and Zac. John is headed off to start the photography program at Art Center College of Design and his cousin Zac is headed back to Lake Placid to continue luge training. John let me play with some of the glass he recently picked up for his schooling. Talk about jealous! I am so excited for him and wish him all the best. Work hard down there Jonner bugs!
Jane and the girls left Helper a day early because Jane "felt like she needed to be home." When they got there Lady (the cat) was already in labor. William and Harry were actually born at about 3:00 in the morning and the girls ended up sleeping through it. Watching the birth of the kittens was to be lesson one the home school version of the "maturation program." Oh well, I guess it will be books and pictures.
For the past couple of months I have been getting down to the office early and spending a couple of hours every morning back in the studio painting. Here is the "side view" of about half of the work I have been able to complete. For the front view you will need to come and see me at the studio.
This is the hand of the professor who taught me how to draw and paint portraits and the human figure. He is one of the most skilled and tallented figure artists today. Paul Davis
