The other day it was raining (even though it should have been snowing) and on my commute, I just had to stop and shoot some photos of this fellow who was out practicing his shooting on a wet court in the drizzling rain. There's some dedication for you! This is the third and final piece in my series on "Dedication". Enjoy!

I tend to go to the gym later in the evening to avoid the after-work crowds. Right next to the gym I go to is a dojo and every night there's a couple of guys in there practicing their art. To me that demonstrates great dedication to their craft and that's what led me to paint this painting as the second in the series on "Dedication". Enjoy!

Not too long ago, I did a daily painting of my daughter posed with her guitar. Well, that painting landed her a modeling job! My friend Ron Spears teaches a painting class and hired her to model for a couple of classes. This painting is of her being painted by that class. Most of the people painting her hadn't painted much figurative work, but they dove right in and painted with boldness and vigor. They all seem very dedicated to their painting, which leads me to introduce this piece as my first in a series on "dedication". Enjoy!
