Well folks, I guess that's that for awhile. Next week I am on my way out to prepare for my deployment to Iraq and will be gone for quite some time. What that means is that I will not be available to book any more painting this year or next. The site will still be here and i will be doing my best to keep it updated so dont go away! Register, post in the forum and keep me company while i am gone :) I will be drawing like mad and have made sure to pack a scanner for my journey so look forward to the gallery being packed full of original work until I return.

     My heartfelt thanks go out to the people that have supported my work over the past few years, especially the Straw family whose wall has been my living sketchbook since last fall. Posted in the gallery is the last piece I will be doing on there for some time. Note the names of all the people who I have had the benefit to meet while i was painting, as well as friends and family. Of course, if your name is on the wall, its likely you've seen it already.

    Work still continues on the book i have been writing for what seems like forever now. If I get the opportunity, I will be putting plenty of work into that while I am away so look forward to seeing more about it as the days go on.

     Again, I will be doing my best to check the site and my email regularly so drop me a note, send me some pics or whatever. I'm gonna miss this place and all of you so try not to become strangers.

Take care,

Ron
