"Journey's Song"
"Journey's Song"
Oil on Canvas,16"x20"

I received word this past week that my oil painting, "Journey's Song," was selected for the City of Brea Art Gallery’s 30th Annual Made in California Juried Exhibition. The exhibition will be on view from March 28th – May 8th, 2015.
"Journey's Song" is, simply, my autobiography. My absolutely all-time favorite painting is Jules Adolphe Breton's "The Song of the Lark" from 1884. "Journey's Song" is my humble tribute to M. Breton.
I did use my artist's "license" to trim off 15 pounds of unnecessary plumpness.
