A New Beginning

It's been a while since I last posted anything here. I kind of got off track after the passing of my mother last December. Then came the birth of our son (yes, Lauren and I have a baby now! His name is Ian). Ian has been keeping us pretty busy, but we are getting the hang of this parenting thing. We are very happy. Ian is such a gentle, smiley baby and thankfully, a good sleeper...!

With Lauren going back to work this week, I've officially become a stay-at-home dad. So far I have been able to do some painting while Ian sleeps during the day and after Lauren comes home from work in the evening, but I'm still trying to figure out the best approach to continue painting. In the meantime, I will be posting some pictures of my latest work.

Today Lauren and I took Ian to his first art show: The Decatur Fine Arts Exhibition, where I received an honorable mention for the painting of my sister Maria entitled "Calas". We had a good night!

Thanks to all of you who keep coming back to the site to see my work. Cheers to a new beginning!
