“Never
be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.”

This is the first of four commissions I got from the show in Kansas City. I went to Ellen’s to take the photos. Her house is so beautiful and in a great neighborhood. The neighbors were visiting and walking and pushing their kids in Ellen’s tire swing. It was a real Mayberry feel. This stage of the painting has been approved and I’m on to paint in the morning. Yay!
