A vintage cabinet card photo of Frederick Douglass and his grandson, Joseph Henry Douglass.

Frederick Douglass is featured on the right side of the image and sits in a chair holding papers in his hands atop his lap. Joseph Douglass, in the left side of the image, sits atop a table and holds a violin in his proper right hand. His proper left hand is resting on the back of his grandfather. The bottom of the card has a maker's mark and address for Notman Photographic Company in Boston. Circa 1894.

"Life is a carnival" that is what my friend Jeff has always told me... and I'm starting to believe him! Growing up right smack dab in the middle of ole Abraham Lincoln's stomping grounds, I have never had the shortage of ideas for artwork. "Whimsical" is what I most often hear as a description of my work. I honestly don't know where it comes from...though growing up where there was no shortage of work or discipline (if you know what I mean). Maybe that "whimsy" comes out of there. Only God knows. All I know for sure is that I do what makes me happy. I was very fortunate to have been able to call the late George Colin a friend & neighbor for many years. George was an outsider artist that sold fantastic painted wooden creations...
