My friend, Kevin Woodward , died of cancer on June 23, 2024. Please click on his name to access the obituary to get more information about him if you wish. I want to talk about Kevin as friend, mentor, and the need for us all to have mentors - even when they tell us things we aren’t ready to hear. I met Kevin shortly after I began painting.

Dropping in to tell you what's coming up on Krista Swisher's Paintings and to commemorate the anniversary of a favorite artist's birth.
