I've been painting portraits and illustrations for close to 40 years. Every year I do at least one painting of my grand babies reflecting their personalities at the time. The oldest loves dress up and imagines herself as a prima ballerina. The youngest adores her big sister and communicates with sounds that could only come from a baby girl or a pterodactyl.

On the 13th of April, I judged Pacesetter Gallery's plein air painting competition. Each time Keri Davis and Pacesetter's does it, it gets bigger and better. The art was great and the people were even better. I look forward to the next one.

If you're into Shakespeare or live theatre, there's a real treat going on right now. This afternoon is Much Ado About Nothing. It is put on by the Mississippi Shakespeare Festivaland directed by Amile Clark Wilson.
I created everything you see below: The poster, the sketches which were done on location at Clinton Brick Streets and Amile, who is my son of 39 years. Please go out and enjoy the play. It's absolutely free and fun to watch.
