Wolves mate for life. They are this worlds true soulmates. This art was inspired by my amazing wife. I created it as a gift to her shortly after we were married. I met her about two years after I lost my girlfriend of ten years to cancer. She brought joy and love to my life. More than that, she made me believe in myself again. She challenges me, supports my ambition, and pushes me to be a better artist. She is my soulmate.

This picture suddenly came to me while I was sitting in my studio. I have had many conversations about growing up in Dallas with friends. Dallas was a dirty, dishonest and dangerous city historically. I?m 72 years old and so I?ve lived through dirty city streets, questionable speak easies, the murder of a President, and maiming of many lives?. People of color, natives, Irish and other imports. Downtown we had Pegasus on a building, and now a beautiful square with a place to rest. The horse

Title or Location: Say Hey - Willie Mays
They called him 'The Say Hey Kid,' but to me, Willie Mays is a reflection of greatness?the kind that inspires us all to reach higher. The Bible says we are made in God?s image, and I believe that means we?re called to reflect His greatness in everything we do. Not by being the best, but by being our best. That?s why I paint. It?s my way of honoring God by striving for excellence and sharing stories of those who inspire us to dream, persevere, and achieve the impossible.
