My son the artist

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
~Pablo Picasso


My youngest son Andrew. An aspiring artist living in Chicago.

He does painting, silk screening, plays bass guitar and has a degree in Philosophy from Loyola University of Chicago. He is my "Renaissance" son. I am so proud that he is taking after me and pursuing art.

He first really got interested in it while spending a semester in Rome. Now he is traveling to Paris next week for a week. I love the light in this picture.

He set the picture up himself with his camera and self timer. I just love it.


Andrew you are an amazing son.


Hopefully like Picasso says, my Andrew will remain an artist. !!!!

  5. Tell Andrew to have fun in Paris.
    I wish I could have gone there but alas the action was in SE Asia so I flew there instead.
    Actually got to the point of not liking Hawaii after 20 or so trips through it.
