Oh dear, this is where I have to confess...I have no idea who he is! I will have to google him to find out. I'm not really a culture vulture. i just make excellent use of the free facilities in Edinburgh *scuttles away in embarrassment*
He is from Louisianna. WHy I love him so much, is he paints "Blue DOg." Now Blue Dog is the ghost of his beloved fog, "Blue Dog" who died - and he appears in ALL sorts of paintings. Presidential portraits, random scenerey, abstracts, all sorts. But the story of blue dog - there is a book, and its beautiful.
Aw! That is so sweet. I definately havent heard of him. I would remember Blue Dog.
I'm thinking that you are a very bad influence BL. I am currently surfing for a Jack Vettriano painting to buy! Maybe that could be my treat for getting to target??
