Great Shows and a New Baby
On Monday February 25 my wife Maria and I welcomed our second child into the world. Another son, his name is Mateo.

I was in Tulsa, OK exhibiting at the Nature Works show when my wife called and said it is time. So, I changed my flights and made it home with time to spare. I would like to thank the good folks at Nature Works for their understanding my early and rapid departure. I appreciate their extra work and commend them on the extrordinary job they do in putting on the show. An artist could not be made to feel more welcome. And on top of that it was a very successful show and I would also like to thank all of you who purchased a piece of my work. High praise indeed when consdering the other options you had for artwork at the show. Thank you.
Melanie, Mark thank you both for your help after the show. You both went way above and beyond. And thank you to all the other artists and friends at the show who helped this novice find his way through at his first Nture works show. Joni and Alan, Pat, Joe, Adele, Wes and Rachelle, Brenda, Chris, Noel and everyone thank you.

Congratulations!!!! I am soooo happy for you and your family. What a beautiful baby! I look forward to seeing you next year at Easton.
This is some of your best work.
