Be you a watcher, fan, or raffle winner... I believe it's important you read further. From this day on, and until I feel I'm ready. I'll be putting everything on hold... my reason for this is simple. I do not feel I'm where I should be as an artist-painter. There's so much I've yet to learn, a lot of it I feel is necessary to practice on. This I'm not ashamed to admit.

That said, I apologize deeply to my raffle winner's. If it's any comfort, you'll still get your prize... it'll just take longer. I guess you'll have to look at things at my prospective to understand. I honestly don't feel comfortable doing artwork that I feel is anything but my best, I truly don't.

To further this deeper, I'll also be striving to reach out to other artists who I believe will be kind enough to point out what I need to work on. With that in mind, I'll be presenting artwork that will be strictly practice... mostly landscaping and animals of different varieties. In the end, I hope to walk away a better artist.
