” In talking about how hard artists work I am reminded of the story abut the man who asked a Chinese artist to draw a rooster for him and was told to come back in a month. When he returned the artist drew a fabulous rooster in a few minutes.  The man objected to paying a large sum of money for something that took so little time, whereupon the artist opened the door to the next room in which there were hundreds of drawings of roosters.”  -author unknown-

The tragedy in Connecticut weighs heavily on us all today….. if  I can do any painting today every brushstroke will be made in memory of all of the victims. Things have got to change!!!
