Here is a picture of my son Jon that I am sending to him for his 40th birthday.  This is the first picture I have framed.  Now I have to produce a picture of my son Andy.  This started with my promise to paint a picture of my granddaughter for her Bat Mitzvah.  After many tries, I am finally getting to the point where people who know the sitter can recognize them.  Someday I may get good at this.  Practice, practice, practice.

I have started painting in oils.  These are some of my first paintings, other than the ones I burned because they were that bad.  Hopefully we will see some improvement as time goes on.
