Please note I was the designer, and did not create this painting. With the painter's generous permission, the colors were deepened. and the art used to promote an exhibit in a small museum of local history.

Lots of dissent and controversy as this art was being accepted at a board meeting. One said that no ad agency would ever produce such a thing. Another said that was exactly what he loved about it—the realness. Those who wanted it refused to back down. So here 'tis.

Family portrait: a divorced dad, with his parents and his two kids. Done as a gift to proud grandpa (who was delighted). The red dragon signifies their Welsh heritage.

Random House cover art. The author was a political strategist for Richard Nixon who later had a change of heart and felt America needed to be concerned about the growing inequality of social classes, with Congress and party bosses on the wrong side.
