With Thanksgiving coming up, I think about the importance of being with family. therefore, I selected this picture of me and my future wife, kids, dogs and house. Family means the world to me. I look forward to one day starting a family and raising children.

We are heading off to Nicaragua for Thanksgiving where I will teach art to kids at a local school and we will donate art supplies to the school. Our Thanksgiving will be very special and I hope yours will be also!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hockney inspired painting of boy swimming in swimming pool

Ethan entered this in the Google Doodle Contest that asked for a doodle and a paragraph on your "Best Day Ever." He did not win the contest but he fulfilled his wish of the best day ever with a trip in June to Cedar Point with friends to celebrate his graduation from 8th grade.

My Best Day Ever at Cedar Point!

Message from Ethan

The Google picture is the picture that has six out of the sixteen roller coasters at Cedar Point, in Sandusky, Ohio. Left to right: GateKeeper, Corkscrew, Raptor, Mantis, Wicked Twister, and Maverick. I rode them all with my friends. It was awesome! Ethan donates a portion of all proceeds to children's charities in Los Angeles, and recentlydonated art to raise money for 18 organizations devoted to helping children. Stay tuned to learn more about this exciting project!

Masters

This Father's Day painting was inspired by Jasper Johns, a famous artist who was famous for painting flags, maps and numbers. I looked at a painting of numbers and turned it into a painting of letters that spelled out words such as "DAD I LOVE YOU". I gave this to my father and he loves it.

Have a Happy Father's Day!
