Once again, another beautiful fall and Christmas season have come and gone. As we stand on the brink of this new year, we reflect on the past year of blessings and are reminded how blessed we really are both as individuals and as a nation. In spite of all the critics, I believe we still live in the greatest nation. I look forward to the coming year and pray that we will once again become a nation that stands for the freedoms fought for by our forefathers.
I was very honored in August this year to have one of my paintings "Spring Flirt" be chosen by Century-Tel to be on the cover of our local phone directory. Also the Fayette Art Musuem honored me (along with two fellow artists) by having one of my paintings printed on their annual "Arts Festival" T-Shirts. We enjoyed a successful Christmas Art Show and closed out 2007 having to update my web page to reflect new work completed this past year and take down many of the paintings sold.
A very special thanks to all of you who have stopped by, either in person or via our web page, and for your many kind comments and purchases. We look forward to hearing from many more of you in the coming months.
My featured painting this month is actually one that is just nearing completion, depicting a rugged cowboy, reflecting on past scenes of his life. The western lifestyle holds a fascination for me and I love to try to recapture the personalitlities of the rugged lifestyle reflected in the faces of these old cowboys.
Until next time, I pray that you all will have a blessed and happy 2008,
Paul
