One of our least favorite activities is a recurring one; i.e. naming the new pieces.  I guess neither one of us are very creative with words.  But we try to make it fun and take a group of pieces with us to our favorite Mexican restaurant.  So there we are sitting in a booth with a window (so we have enough light) flipping through different proofs trying to suggest different names for them.  When our server arrived to take our drink order, I held up one proof and asked him what was the first word that came to mind when he looked at the proof.  He quipped out a word and it was really good.  We put a couple more in front of him and more great suggestions were forth-coming.  Wow!  This was really fun.  As we continued to work while we ate, Ryan came back to our table frequently, always willing to provide input to our more troubling images and a ready smile!  So, we asked him if it was ok to name a piece after him and he said, "Sure!".  So here it is:

This piece has a little bit of a watercolor look and feel.  But you can see a man running on the beach on the left side of the image.  Ryan, thank you again!!

And we've added 18 new pieces to the Impressions gallery.  For now, they are the last 18  images in the gallery.  By double-clicking the images in the gallery, you can see larger images.  Enjoy!
