The Blue Boy

 

This painting, parodied and reduced to paint-by-number, has been reproduced and hung in millions of homes over the decades. But there is much more to it than you might imagine. Check it out (here).

Dave

 

Dave was the jeweler in the store I managed for six years. I spent hours watching him at his workbench as he set stones and made molds for custom rings and pendants. Dave didn’t talk much although he had a wicked sense of humor and a sideways glance that made it seem like he was privy to your darkest secrets. Check (here) to see my entire portrait of Dave.
