Happy Fourth - As American As Apple Pie?

As American as apple pie? Maybe not quite. I still like a cuppa at mid-afternoon. But super proud to have become an American citizen December 20th 2002 at mid-day. I never take this life privilege for granted.

 HAPPY FOURTH of JULY AMERICA!

Portrait Location- Wall Street Journal

Location, location, location?

Two portraits I did a very long time ago are included in an article today in The Wall Street Journal about a fabulous Malibu home, designed and conceived by two very clever people I know rather well.

So many congrats to Carolyn and Kevin Cozen. I watched this home being built from the ground up over a few years by these two talents. It is a true work of art and I am honored to have two paintings of their daughters hanging in it. That they didn't put them in a yard sale.
