Before you peruse the images of my paintings. I had some successes in the past year I would like to share with you. I am grateful for two in particular. First, one of my paintings, Jean LaFitte, Corsair, was prominently featured on a billboard in Knoxville, TN at exit 388A off I40. This is a commission piece used as the marketing cornerstone for a new restaurant in Knoxville. The portrait was interesting and fun to do. The restaurant owners said that "it captured the mood and theme of the new restaurant perfectly".
Second, I was the exclusive artist for the Rossini Festival of the Arts in 2009. Two of my paintings were selected to represent the event. Thousands of posters were produced featuring my paintings. The proceeds were donated to The Knoxville Opera Company, the sponsor of the event. I was very honored to support the opera and arts community of Knoxville. Turnout was good, with a over an estimated 100,0000 people in attendance.
