Chicago Jazz Redux

I am trying to keep up with my goals. ....so I am updating again today. I didn't get to much else on the list and this painting is one I finished in October but I intend to keep at my goals. I will post the last painting I did in 2006 next and when I finish the first painting of 2007 you all will be the first to see it....well aside from my art buddies.

As we prepare for this year's Jazz Band trip to Montreal I am reminiscent of last year's trip to Chicago. I took this photo of Ryan and liked it so much I decided to paint him. I am missing some of the band parents that have left us, along with their kids :-( I am becoming one of the parents that have been around awhile.....it's odd because it seems like just yesterday that Alex started with the marching band.
