I received an interesting email the other day. I had put an ad in our local web site here in the Sonora area called www.myMotherlode.com.  This woman saw my ad and emailed me. Not to ask about oil paintings but to ask if I was the guy that live across the street when we were kids. I turned out that she was and her brother and I were best friends. I hadn’t seen them for 44 years. The really neat thing was that when Dirk (that’s her brothers name) and I were (9) him and 10 (me) made plans. He was going to become an actor or rock and roll singer and I was going to become an artist. Its 50 years later and he is a singer his fan base is in Italy I am an artist. I don’t make my living as an artist but I do sell a painting every now and then. If you want to check my friend out you can Google Dirk Hamilton. I am still looking for a market for my artwork. May be next year I will find it.
