The weather is beautiful here in South Carolina. I am enjoying these last few weeks here.  McDonalds ended last week and I just started working at a bar part-time to help with the bills.  I just got another portrait commission and will be living with the family in April to complete it.  The past few weeks have been self-reflective and spent mostly alone while I paint, but I finally feel like I am hitting my stride and producing good work at a more prolific pace.
