Beautiful Irish Woman has Birthday

Theresa celebrated her birthday this past Sunday with her family and friends at the Westchester Golf Club. Her Sign In Board was a portrait of her posing next to a family tree representing the seeds that grew her and the limbs and branches she helped to grow. The basic design was borrowed from the image of the Celtic Tree-of-Life, the large terra cotta pot inscribed with the names of her parents, and a Celtic band winding from left to right. The trunk was inscribed with her own information, and the 5 main branches represented her 5 sons, each festooned with a symbol of each of their professions; stethoscope, Bible, school notebook, ledger book, and psychology tome. The branches and leaves contained the names of the children and grandchildren. A leprechaun leans against the tree trunk, and the scene behind is a simple landscape of County Cooraclare, Ireland. Shamrocks are intertwined amongst the tree leaves.

Artist Meets Artist

I had the distinct pleasure yesterday of being invited to draw all of the guests of Ellie, a young artist celebrating her 7th birthday at her home. As a complete surprise to me, the pint-sized Picasso presented me with this likeness of myself, which she had drawn without my knowledge. Everyone I have shown it to agrees that Ellie captured my essence. I simply have to share it with the world.

Before I left the party, I photographed Ellie and her Godfather wearing their shirts.
