I HAVE LOST TRACK OF HOW many paintings, drawings, commissions, murals, designs...you name it that Rhonda Howlett has commissioned me through the years. She's collected so many originals for herself and has also commissioned originals for friends and families. And though she started out as a collector, she's become a dear friend who I look forward to talking to, grabbing lunch with, and just hanging out with for a bit.
Last Christmas she commissioned this painting from a photo that was taken by a friend of hers. Of course, you can tell the top is the photo, and the bottom is the painting. I can count on one hand how many people in my life have truly supported my art; and when I say "truly supported" I mean from a standpoint that they not only promote it, they like it, they comment on it, they come to my shows, they buy it...Rhonda has been that person, and I am forever grateful for her. She is simply amazinng.
