UPDATE 4/14/07 JIM WATSON WON AN AWARD OF MERIT AT THE STEUBENVILLE ART ASSOCIATION'S ART SHOW WITH HIS PAINTING OF ROBBY!!

Everyone should have an artist as a friend.  I am blessed because I have two friends that are artists.  The image below is a picture of an oil painting that Jim Watson, a Best In Show, and multiple award winning artist did of Robby.  Jim lives in Steubenville, Ohio with his wife JoAnn.  For me, he has painted Russell, Rudy, and now Robby, using pen & ink and oils.  He uses most all types of mediums, and can paint anything that your heart desires.  He is a perfectionist, and loves detail work.  If you are interested in having Jim do a painting or drawing for you, you may contact him either by email:  jwatsonj@comcast.net or by phone:  740.264.2959.

My other artist friend would be Amy Gibel.  If you looked at Russell's page, you saw a sketch that she drew of him.  To see Amy's website, click here:  Dogmatics
