Thank you to all of our soldiers who have served and still serve the armed forces of the United States. I speak for myself and my family when I say that we are all proud of you and what you do. Your sacrifice is honorable and I pray that God watches over you. Our soldiers are the reason this country was built on freedom and still fights for freedom all over the world. God bless the U.S. and all of her soldiers, past and present.

My art has always been within me for the most part. I feel that something inside of me yearns to create. I cannot remember specifically thinking, "I want to learn how to draw". God gave me the talent and it's been there since the day I took my first breath.
I think Michelangelo said,
"The best artist has that thought alone
Which is contained within the marble shell;
The sculptor's hand can only break the spell
To free the figures slumbering in the stone."
I'm not a sculptor but that's how I feel about drawing and painting. The image is there already. My eyes just guide the lead or the paint to find it. Even today, I see things in the world and my first thought is the form and flow and color of whatever I'm looking at.
I know I feel at peace when I work and I pray I will one day draw and paint for a living. By the Grace of God I will but it's all in His own timing.
