I have been known to paint peoples children on occasion. I did a nice Christmas poster for the downtown "Old City" a few years back, which started the tradition of painting the Martin children every Christmas Eve.

It just isn't Christmas if I am not painting the Martin children .

Before you get any creative ideas, the answer is NO!

For a commercial project, I have no problems working with children. For corporate clients or established collectors, you can twist my arm and you know me well enough not to be offended if I say: "Let's think of something else to do".

The fact is, and I mean this with the most sincerity that I can muster; I don't want to be the one to tell you that your kids are ugly --and don't you go and laugh at that, because it is not meant to be funny!

I am not going to expand on this thought, but I can assure you. There are plenty of artists in the mall that need the work more than me, so --support your local artist!
