Love and Hugs.

      Hello my friends and family. I love you all. Hugs. Sometimes I feel so guilty that I am so happy. I have problems just like everyone else, and I certainly have some serious health issues, but I always tell myself, it could be worse. An I think about all the wonderful, positive things I have in my life. For Instance I have a wonderful family that I love with all my heart and soul.  Madison's children are wonderful and I take pride in all the things that they do, even when they fail, I love them even more.  Madison is my true mate. I have never been happier with a woman in my whole life. There is nothing I would not do for her.
    I have some of the greatest friends in the world as well. They're such a blessing to me and always inspire and motivate me. I am privileged to know such talented people. An I can't forget the talent that was given to me by Mother. It is the greatest gift that I could ever imagine anyone could get. The gift to create.  While so much of mankind seeks to destroy, I and thousands like me where given the gift to be able to create. Wether it be art, music, film or the written word it is the most positive gift that we have ever been given.
   When I think back to my earlier years when I thought that being an artist was a curse, I am so ashamed that I ever thought that. I just simply did not understand the beauty and the love behind the gift I was given. 
   I have been very busy. Here is another new painting. This one features film star Michelle Tomlinson....

   Once again, this is a photo, but in the next blog I will finally be able to scan the first works I did so you can see them better. I had to get them dry in a hurry because they are going to be on display at the Super Bowl in a private box owned by a famous gallery out of Indianapolis, and my work will be featured in this gallery after the big game. More on that soon. How cool. I wasn't even thinking of getting my work out there this soon, but fate stepped in. Madison and I are thrilled. This is one of the paintings that will be on display there.
   As I write this, I am almost done with another painting. Unless today turns out to me a total mess, I should finish it.  It is the second painting that features Detroit model Madeline Frost.
    I wish you all love and happiness. I pray that each of you will find satisfaction in your lives.  Love and Hugs.
Nick.
