This lovely lady is named Frannie. She is the loyal companion of a great client of mine by the name of Jeanne Achziger. I had great fun taking her photograph in the strawberry batch in Jeanne's backyard. This is the resulting portrait. I am very pleased with the final painting and honored to have had the opportunity to paint Frannie. Thanks, Jeanne!

This is a piece I have painted in support of Project Education Sudan. This wonderful organization's mission is to fund and assist indigenous Sudanese organizations and communities that create educational infrastructure in rural southern Sudan. They support the building of primary and secondary schools, as well as adult education and teacher training.
To help generate funds for these endeavors Project Education Sudan invites a talented group of artists to paint works of art depicting life in the Sudan. This years exhibition and auction is being held on September 26, 2009, 6-9 P.M.
Further information about the show and auction can be seen here.
