Commissions... here is one I recently received and painted.  I was glad to invite someone special into
my studio and gallery, he had an interest in my artwork.  He asked me if I would paint by commission his unique idea
based on a painting he liked of mine.  "Wild Horses of Nevada"? Only thing was.... 
He had a knick-knack that for many years he has treasured. It is an antique replica of a covered wagon, that is uniquely 
being drawn by a pair of Clydesdale horses.  I was intrigued by his request, and my creativity was peaked.
The picture on the right is the final result. The title of this oil painting is: "Only The Strong Made It THROUGH!" He told me of a plaque that was adhered to the underside
of the covered wagon that read, 
COVERED WAGON
There's a covered wagon in Arizona
Where everybody had loaded their treasures,
They had loaded everything they had and they 
started out across the United States...
No trails, no roads or anything and the pioneers headed across.
The plaque on the bottom of the covered wagon
 reads like this..
" - The cowards didn't even start...
  - The weak died along the way...
  - Only The strong made it THROUGH!" 
This phrase is painted in the lower right of the forground above the signature.
