Do you recognize this man? It's Rembrandt! He painted this self portrait, which was only discovered several years ago. This painting only measures about 6"x8". It's a little BIG work.
Rembrandt, a seventeenth century artist, brilliantly conveys the outward facial features of his laugh. Today, science has learned so much about what is actually going on in our brain when we laugh.

My tagline is "joy on canvas". I can't help but paint the joy around me and I think it shows in my work. We live in a world that is growing darker by the day. But, the light still shines and that is where I put my focus. And, I think I'll spend a little more time laughing!
