("Betty," 22"x 28", oil on canvas,
private commission)
I am finally finished with this piece, although I still wish I could get a better photo as I think it looks much better in person! My client wanted for me to create a vintage style portrait incorporating her late mother-in-law's love of jazz. She didn't want the piece to be just black and white, so I added a bit of silverish purple to her dress, the tablescape, and the jazz players in the background. I added just a hint of blue in the background, and there is a bit of light yellow enhancing the lights in the background as well as the small candle on the table. My client will be giving this to her husband for Father's Day and said it would be ok to share it with you here on my blog. This was what she wrote to me: "I cant wait to see my daughter's first heirloom and my husband's face when he sees this..she loved jazz and he once told me, she always had music playing in the house. I wish she or her husband could see it!"
It has been a true honor to create such a special piece for their family! If you are interested in having a portrait done feel free to contact me....my pricing can be found here.
Another night and another girl?
Well I taste so good,
But you knew I would.
So who's keeping score,
On who is a whore?

I love YMAS :)
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes.
I struggle to find any truth in your lies.
Where you invest your love, you invest your life.
Where you invest your love, you invest your life.
I'd drop everything now
See you in the pouring rain
Kiss you on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Hit me with those blue eyes, baby, as the lights go down
You're the only one, you got me, there's no one else around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.

California Dreams Tour...
This is awesome!! Check out their other videos too!
And I'm wasting away, away from you.
What have I gotten into this time around?
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox, you had me at hello.
Now I know we said things, did things, that we didn’t mean,
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine.
But your temper’s just as bad as mine is, you’re the same as me.
When it comes to love you’re just as blinded.
Baby please come back, it wasn’t you, baby it was me,
Maybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seems,
Maybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano.
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine.

On the first page of our story,
The future seemed so bright.
Then this thing turned out so evil,
I don't know why I'm still surprised.
Even angels have their wicked schemes,
And you take that to new extremes.
But you'll always be my hero,
Even though you've lost your mind.

In the aftermath of the destructive path that we're on,
Two psychopaths but we know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs,
That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky.
Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills .
That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky.
Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills .
With you I'm in my mind, without you, I'm out it.
What are we doing?
I was so in love with you,
I’ve forgot what I wanted to say.
I was so in love with you,
I’ve forgot what I wanted to say.
What are we doing?
You will change your ways in time,
If I just save you, you could save me too.
And I've been a fool and I've been blind,
I can never leave the past behind.
I can see no way, I can see no way,
I'm always dragging that horse around.
I can never leave the past behind.
I can see no way, I can see no way,
I'm always dragging that horse around.
I am done with my graceless heart,
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart.
Cause I like to keep my issues strong,
It's always darkest before the dawn.

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow.
Let it be, you can't make it come or go.
Let it be, you can't make it come or go.
But you are gone - not for good but for now,
gone for now feels a lot like gone for good.
gone for now feels a lot like gone for good.
Happiness damn near destroys you,
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor.
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now,
Happiness has a violent roar.
Happiness is like the old man told me,
Look for it, but you'll never find it all.
Let it go, live your life and leave it.
Then one day, wake up and he'll be home.
