Doc

Painted this one at the Cumberland River Bluegrass Festival yesterday. About two hours. Doc has a lot of character. Might have to do a studio version of this one, and a bit larger.

Canadian TV Interview

Had the pleasure of being interviewed on the CBC show Connect with Mark Kelley tonight. Talking about my project I call the Virtual Paintout. I'm adding a link. Slide the bar over to about the 49 minute mark. The interview last for about 5 minutes.

Pretty exciting. Wonder how many folks watch the show?
