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.

This is Stanley, he is a sweet little dachshund puppy that belongs to a daughter of a friend, Kaela. I needed to find a way to produce a sample artwork but have no pets of my own. Kaela had asked how much it would cost for me to paint her puppies even though she knew she felt she couldn't afford it. Well, I'm glad she did, I'm glad she took interest in my work and I really felt connected to the photo she shared with me of this cute little dog.Well, needles to say, I needed to produce a piece
