Holiday Giveaway

The best gifts I ever received were letters, artwork, gifts from independent small-shops, and handcrafts. My friends and I decided this year (2025) will be a no purchase gift exchange for the holidays. To that end, I am giving away some of my artwork. All I ask is you don't copy anything here and sell elsewhere.

The 3 at the bottom are pages from the book – graphics I created for just a few of the 100+ poems and personal stories from the book The Love It Takes, the extraordinary influence of Louis Tomlinson.

356 Speedster. I dug through my archives and found my Speedster watercolor. I originally did this as a gift ages ago for a friend that was a car guy. It isn't the best work I've done but if you like it, you can have a copy. I dedicate this one to Louis Tomlinson since he's a car guy and performed at the F1 Grid Gigs in Las Vegas this weekend and loves Speedsters.  I also signed one just for him or anyone (don't worry Louis, I can't tell if you download it).

Falling Wine. One of many wine related paintings. This one sold ages ago as well. I have many wine aficionado friends. I never cared for wine much so I stood out at fancy parties and sometimes got the side-eye at fine restaurants in Italy when I asked for a Patron neat. Nevertheless, I got asked for paintings of wine. People liked this one because – OMG a wine cellar disaster!

Young Cellist. I was gallery represented at one time. This was sold from a gallery in Palo Alto, California. I received 3 commissions to do similar paintings because of this one. I have done many music themed paintings, typically more rock and roll related. But, I did actually buy a cello once because I loved the sound. I also owned a baby grand piano. I tried. I really did want to have musical talent. It wasn't meant to be.
