Last Batch of 2013!

(For dramatic effect, please listen to this song while reading the rest of the post, thank you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M)

My friends, it has finally happened.  Yes, it has been a long and winding journey, but we actually made it.  Phase One of "The People Project" has finally been completed!

For those of you who don't know, phase one refers to the painting/creation phase of the project, and I have just now completed the last batch of the pictures for the project.  The shock has yet to settle in for me.  I've been working on these babies since before I even began the fundraising for "The People Project" back in April 2012.  And now, many moons later, I have finally finished painting.

I want to thank you all for your support and patience, your kind words and loving compassion.  I seriously could not have come this far without you all.  We've come quite a ways together. 

However, this is only the first leg of the journey, and my work is not yet finished.  The next phase consists of continuing to verify mailing addresses and ship out canvases as well as finally beginning compiling images and organizing the final compilation book in which all the paintings from The People Project will be featured in.  I know I'm looking forward to finishing that phase as well.  The book of course will be available for purchase.  Details are soon to follow.

But, for now, let's just celebrate the completion of the last batch of paintings.  I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did making them.  Celebrate good times!
