Here's a mural I did in October 2019 for Ride the Wave Gym in Seabrook.
Got me free workouts for a year!
Full disclosure: I was supposed to paint just the Dalai Lama and the boxer, but I painted Gandhi instead -oops....they liked it, so I just added the Dalai Lama in the center.
So glad it all worked out!

"This painting just called to us from across the room! The attitude comes through so clearly. The dog’s posture is sublime, as are the lead lines and background color. A perfect little jewel of a painting."
