Thank you!

Thank you to all who came out to my first open studio of 2006. I saw old friends, made new ones, and got lots of signatures for Barbaro's Get Well card.

My Man O' War painting made its debut AND it found a great new home with a couple of art loving historians/artists/incredible minds/collectors of rare books/all around awesome people. So cool!

Another highlight: I was asked to design some oxen notecards. What a fabulous idea--one I will be working on over the summer.

Many folks signed the get well card for Barbaro. I will be sending it out to him next week. Thanks for your wonderful messages to him.

Stay tuned--there will be another Open Studio this summer or early fall. So much fun...

It was great to see all of you. See you again soon!

Making its debut at this Saturday's Open Studio...

My watercolor/ink portrait of the original Big Red--Man O' War-- history's most famous horseracing superstar.

It will be offered for sale unframed.

Man O' War's portrait is rendered on archival acid-free Canson watercolor paper.
