Hello everyone. For the past year I've been working with Go-Daddy to market my art on facebook. They have done a great job and I appreciate all of you who have seen my work, liked it and commented. It has not, however, led to sales, so I have to stop the campaign. I will continue to post new work on this site on my own and diversify the postings to some of the other kinds of projects I'm working on. Please check in now and again to see whats new and feel free to check out my web site if anything interests you. Thanks for your support and kind comments about my work. I hope to continue hearing from you.

Ezra and Big Red raised little red tail hawks for several years on the Cornell University webcams. It was fun to watch them build their nest, lay eggs, and raise the chicks. Unfortunately, Ezra was injured and had to be euthanized. He was a beautiful animal and an excellent father and provider. He's been missed.
