Rose and I

40" x 30" oil on board

I haven't painted a self portrait since my old college days, and I figured I was due. It also just had to be done in the signature Adidas jacket and Pumas. This piece is an homage to my home here in Wooster and all those who support me and the arts. Rose, the painting in the background, is in the collection of The Butcher, Adam Nussbaum and can be found displayed at Meatheads Union Tavern! A good friend Tim Sheppard (TShep), made the Meathead's shirt. TShep is a provider of wears for a lot of the local establishments.

JAFB, is a local brewery here in Wooster, Rain Delay is one of my go-to beverages either at JAFB or here at Grigio.

The Cigar, (Perdomo for those in the know) was provided by a newcomer here in Wooster, the Cigar Vault, a must-see spot for cigar enthusiasts.

Of course, I'm sitting on the couch at Grigio, the place that makes this all possible!

And the bow on the package, framed up by Lauren at Walnut Street Gallery!
