Meanwhile, Sabrina’s show opened in the gallery on the 20th (that’s the same night as the first game of the World Series, just to put it into context.) Sabrina joked to me that they would have set the price of “Portrait of a Baseball Player” higher if they’d known that the model was going to … Continue reading The Painting Sells

Update: Sabrina and the Painting
There’s one COVID story I don’t think I’ve kept you posted about: what’s happening with “Portrait of a Baseball Player”, the painting that Sabrina did with me as her model? It was supposed to be in Sabrina’s one-woman show at the gallery that ‘handles her’ back in June, but, well, y’all know where this is … Continue reading Update: Sabrina and the Painting
Sitting for Sabrina
So I’ve been sitting for Sabrina for a couple weeks now, and I think she’s finally arrived at a pose for the picture.

Friday night, Joyce came back to … Continue reading The Santa Barbara Weekend (part 3)
The Santa Barbara Weekend (part 2)
So me and Joyce were invited a couple weekends ago to this super rich dude’s house up in Santa Barbara. We got the invitation through Adam and Allan, who decorated the dude's house (his name's Justen Hunnycut.) Justen is crazy for playing bridge, so he's always on the lookout for people who can play after … Continue reading The Santa Barbara Weekend (part 2)
