This month the show at Kent Island Federation of Art is the Human Form Show. My three entries were, Lisa Cross (posted early Nov.), Larissa Reis (posted in early Jan.) and Kris Shanahan (posted in late December.) Before today, Kris and I had never spoken or met. We had only communicated through Twitter or text messages through our sons. She loved the drawing though, and I invited her family to the reception for the show. Since inviting her to the reception, the show was judged, and the drawing was awarded an honorable mention in the drawing division. Today was the reception, and we finally met. Since starting this blog, I have been to many athlete autograph signings, but I have never been so honored, or enjoyed so much, the time that my family got to spend with Kris and her family!

Matt Sullivan "Three Aces" 2014

Three Aces Drawing

Matt is my soon to be Brother in Law. I drew him to be the recipient of gifts from me in this years family Secret Santa. My Sister in Law suggested that I do some kind of drawing portraying the three Holes in One that he has hit in his golf career. She sent me links to the three golf courses and I came up with this. I was really excited about it, and his reaction to it was as good as an artist can expect from the intended audience.
