For Jules

Sometimes you meet people that you just sync with… as friends. I really think a lot of my friends. They’re the family that we choose for ourselves and we each connect with in different ways.

I have some friends I’ve known since Jr. High school that know me like we were blood relatives and others I met in just the past decade or so, and you feel like you’ve known them forever. They’re all different people with different backgrounds and yet somehow sometimes you just connect. You get each other. You have no expectations other than mutual respect and having common threads like… here for example, we enjoyed the same kinds of music and love to laugh. We also loved to fish, bring our music and drink icy cold Caronas.

This painting was for my friend Jules… a birthday gift.
