Heluva birthday weekend.
My daughter’s martial arts testing at St Pete Fight Team, Thursday and then a day in the woods with my brother Gian with Operation Home Shores, Inc.
it was an incredibly spiritual outing… too much to list, but this hog symbolizes a lot.
Saturday we were back at St. Pete Fight Team to celebrate Germano and Emma Coker’s fifth year in the location sporting a mural by yours truly.

Saturday marked my fifty fourth winter on this earth. And Sunday saw me surrounded by my family.

Finally, I got time to work on a lot of wolf art.

Be safe.
Be well.
It’s a beautiful world.

Some things people may not know about my process.
I like to work outside. Especially if a piece has a connection to wild spaces, or the outdoors.

I use the sun to dry my canvas. I don’t use water from a faucet, I use water from the lakes streams, and the salt water that surround me.

Rain or shine, studio space affords me, the luxury of fresh air, a good cigar, and quality time with my best friend as she works on her tan.

Getting there.
Not bad for an 18x24 piece in 48 hours.

My “Pikuni Blue” series had to take a back burner for a while, as I work to create a couple of new pieces for a deadline- critical project.

My “Pikuni Blue” series has both evolved, and slightly derailed.

I have decided if I am going to do an indigenous series, it needs to be on ledgers…

Also today is the 14th day I have been down with th flu. I decided enough is enough, time to do some work.

The second is inspired by my brother from another, Jesse Desrosier. Represent tomorrow. Warrior up. No prisoners.
