August 7, 2013 – Roses from Paris in Fairfax

Blossoming Hope in Haircolor Training Center

This is from my uncle who is one of the foremost teachers of haircolor in the country: “If its possible your work keeps getting better. Your picture I have hanging in the training center. We have a lot of people going in and out, all love the painting. It puts a smile on their faces when they see the painting and gives the room a glow and a calming effect.”

September 7 – Blossoming Hope back home for a visit

I’ve given this to Mom and Dad. They let me show it at the Sausalito Festival. It’s home with us for a bit – looks nice above the fireplace. I’d forgotten how it glows in person.
