Meet the Hendricksons

This is Sandy and Jerry Hendrickson. They have been my biggest fans since I started selling my art at the Madison Avenue Inn Coffee Haus. I recently stopped over to there house and they showed me that I have my own wall!!!! How cool is that? Personally I feel very honored when someone compliments my art. When they buy a piece I feel even more honored, but a whole wall? The best part is that this wall doesn't even hold all of my paintings that they own.
As an artist I love to paint whatever I feel like. I love to let my mind define what will capture my interest for the day. At the same time I love when people ask me to put my artist spin on a photo or an idea of their own. They share their special images, thoughts, dreams or memories and ask me to create a piece for them. I recently had the chance to do this for my cousins. The painting below was for my Aunt and Uncle for their anniversary It was great to talk with my cousin and toss around ideas and then have final say over what I paint. I call this painting Marvel & Bill's Blue Jay Cafe.
 
Well, While my love of painting and creating keeps me going, my real job pays the bills. I better get to it. Check in soon I think I will have a fun announcement comings in the next week or so.
