       It's been a while since I've posted anything new on this blog. I guess I've just been busy with some side painting projects. That's no excuse though. I need to keep producing new work if I ever want to make it as a serious artist. That's why I'm making a commitment to get at least 2 posts a month on this blog for the remainder of the year. And hopefully, I'll be able to increase that output next year. I'll count on you to keep me to my commitment. If I start to slack again, email me and tell me to get it together. 
       This painting depicts a busy day on the Savannah River. Rather than painting pleasure craft in my seascapes, I'm more drawn to the working class vessels. There's a noble integrity about them that always captures the imagination for me. This rather large painting kept me busy for most of the month of May. Before that, I did the piece below for the Military Officers Association of America. They wanted a painting for their "Community Heroes" awards, which celebrates caregivers of wounded veterans. The theme was 'triumph over tragedy'.
