2006

was quite a year for me. My son Bren­dan was born in August, which is beyond amaz­ing. He’s doing great.

Lesser events included what I think is a leap for­ward in the qual­ity of my draw­ing and paint­ing, as well as start­ing this weblog. I am also chang­ing my (non art-related) job. The new job will be 32 hours per week instead of 40 (although with one overnight trip to Port­land Maine each week). I hope to devote the extra day to paint­ing, with the goal of pro­duc­ing a body of work that I can begin to sell. So I guess I am about to be one-fifth of a strug­gling pro­fes­sional artist.

Peace, pros­per­ity, and best wishes to all of you and your families.

Happy new year!
