This is the picture that got this whole business started! I had a room in my house with underwater photos that I had taken and framed myself. When Patty moved in with me, 3 months after we met, she told me I had some great photos but my framing needed help. She was taking them down one by one and re-framing them and decided to try and paint the frame with this one. When she finished I said "wow that's great can you do another like this?" When she finished the second one, a reef scene, I said " I bet we could sell these." We decided to buy a tent and do 3 art shows, if we liked it and thought we could make some money at it we would continue doing them. After one year Patty gave up her massage license and started painting full time. After two years I sold my carpet cleaning business and we've been doing art shows full time since then. We do an average of 23 shows a year so it keeps us pretty busy.
