Hello from Kenya

Hi Phil,
I am in Kenya visiting my daughter Donna who also took a class with you at Michaels
in Levittown.  As I walk through their home I wanted you to know they have 5 or 6
paintings hanging on their walls  I did in your classes over the years.  So Artist Phil you are well represented
in Africa!

It was great hearing from Carol and warms my heart that she remembers me and our classes. If I knew teaching art, even in Craft Stores, was so fulfilling. I would have considered this vocation in my youth.

1950 Studebaker close encounter

1950 Studabaker was a really cool car in the mid 50's. It resembled a jet with it's pointed grill. 

My brother Chuck once had a brush with this Studebaker. My mother sent him to the grocery store. Chuck wasn't looking when crossing the street and got tapped. Chuck was lucky,  I could not imagine getting hit with the pointed grill. The releaved driver of the Studabaker drove him home unharmed. Mom never asked him to go to the store for a long time. 
This is a 6x6 oil Painting on Ampersand Gesso Bord and being autioned on Ebay for a starting bid of $49.00 Check out the Auction
