       With the internet, I've been able to get my artwork to a larger audience & have paintings in collections not only all across the U.S. but in other countries as well; Canada, Finland, Switzerland & now England. It's very thrilling to think of my paintings travelling to places that I can't.

       This one is the latest to make a journey & that was to London, where it arrived last week. It's an emerald toucanet bird(a smaller version of toucans) eyeing an emerald boa in a South American rainforest, so I called it "Emeralds of the Forest". The person liked it even better when she got it than online, saying the colors were  gorgeous. I'm always apprehensive that people won't like the actual painting, but so far I've been lucky. It's also very humbling to think that people like my work enough that they are willing to pay to have one of my pictures shipped across the ocean.
