Church Health Center Holiday Card

The Church Health Center commissioned me to create a painting for their annual holiday card. I painted this image of a baby being lifted up by a man (a doctor?) to symbolize their mission of caring for the body and spirit. Donate a minimum of $10 and send these cards in the honor of someone special. I appreciate the good work that the Church Health Center does, and I also appreciate that they have taken the time to acknowledge me as the artist. See more information here.

Poplar Ave.

Poplar Avenue 8/11/10
I remember this being the last thing on Poplar headed east when I was a kid, and it did not look this good at the time. Now everything is built up around it, and it is home to a law firm. a guy was painting the front porch when I sketched it.
