We simply can’t ignore that annual event that used to make our Fall holidays as kids and later as parents. In tribute to the large number of parents who have bought, made or improvised costumes, check out the following fun link!

  What’s New

Steve and I just completed  3 weeks of shows that make up the North Carolina State Fair and the Hunter Jumper shows October 2-21. Many thanks to our clients for  making them such a success! To see where we will be next, just check our schedule.  We always include images of some of our new work within the newsletter. As always, contact us with any questions concerning our artwork. Questions such as How do go about commissioning a portrait?, what’s available?, how soon can something be ready?, how much?, can things be changed? are common questions that we are happy to answer! Many of your questions can be found in our FAQ link as well.  With the holidays just around the corner, remember to contact us NOW for special orders!

  Inspiring: 

Have you watched the Sunday night program on ABC called “Amazing Home Makeovers” where the crew takes a deserving family and completely builds a new house for them in a week? You know how good you feel after watching that show? Well, take a moment and watch this video. It is a short  "American Idol" (in England) TV clip, but oh my, will you feel good after you watch it! Watch the judges faces as this little unassuming man takes the stage for the first time. There are several parts by the way. Watch the first and follow up with the rest. I don’t care what type of day you are having, this will make it better! A great feel good story!
