Bella, my wife.

One of the most important things to me is my family. And I wouldn't have such a beautiful one with out my wife Bella Jones.

Most people don't know this but I was really not the greatest or most motivated artist in my beginning years. I was just doing whatever I could do to get a job and worked my butt off the best I could in the beginning but once I had a job I stopped trying to get better.

Then Bella came into my life. She not only taught me the value of pushing yourself she was a huge inspiration to me as she was a single mother of two working her ass off to take care of them all on her own.

I have never painted a portrait of her. Why? Because I still feel like I'm not good enough to capture what I see. But as I am beginning my new journey to get better as an artist. I go back to my roots. What inspires me. And she is it.

So it's time I restart my motivation to be a great artist.
