Be of Good Cheer!

May the luck of the Irish be with you today!

May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.

May your heart be light and happy,
May your smile be big and wide,
And may your pockets always have

Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

A Hundred Years Ago Today My Artistic Inspiration Was Born!

A hundred years ago today my paternal grandfather, Wesley Myers Gordon was born.

Wes (better known as Poppa to me) was a self-taught artist spending many of his days traveling via train in and out of the New York City where he worked a graphic designer and sign maker doing hand-lettering and illustrations. Over the years he was involved in a several art communities, where he enjoyed the fellowship of like-minded artists, furthering his passion for painting and sketching. Poppa enjoyed the simple beauty of rural landscapes, often paying particular attention to the flowing lines of trees and contrasting angles of structures of farms and back roads in Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

One of my favorite painting preparatory sketches that he had done, was one of a lone tree that bears an uncanny resemblance to the magnolia outside my office window. My connection to the that sketch, prompted me to incorporate it in the Spithead Studios logo.

Although he has passed away, Poppa’s great sense of humor, social personality and keen artistic eye are still very much alive in my father, brother and me today.
