Portraits R Us

I've been working on a lot of things since I last posted.

Here are three of the portraits in their beginnings:
Every time I do a portrait, I swear I'll never do another!

They are quite difficult, but when they work out, they are satisfying. I guess that's why I always end up doing another...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


My son Jack recently turned four, and we celebrated with a cake and tons of presents.

My wife made a cake and I decorated it-- I took some fondant and gum paste, and formed it into Fireman Sam!



Jack loved it, of course, and we all enjoyed eating it.


Here is the demise of Fireman Sam:

Fireman Sam sure saved the day.
