  4. I so respected this man (and wrote a blog piece myself when he passed away). I love that you immortalized him as you have. Wish you could send this to his wife; I know she'd cherish it forever, Dean.

  5. You nailed his look Dean. Nice tribute. It took courage to go thru what he did.

    I loved "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" movies.

  6. Yes, he did remain a good man, and it's sad to lose him to this world. But I like to think he's doing much greater works now.

    Wonderful illustration!

  14. Wow, Dean, there are very few artists who are equally adept at painting as many subjects as you are. One minute I think I adore your animal paintings most, but then you come up with the graphite sketches like this (and Walter Cronkite--WOW), and I am just stunned at your incredible drawing ability. Then there are the seascapes that make me want to book a flight to Hawaii NOW...just don't make me choose a favorite subject. It can't be done! thanks for sharing your lovely work,
    Faye
