Jimmy, how do you feel? "Are you good?"

Jimmy with WineFest painting, Cafe at Night
Jimmy had his second art show on November 17th, 2011 at
Sunfish Cellars www.sunfishcellars.com. He currently as over thirty pieces on display at Sunfish.  His WineFest painting, CafĂ© at Night, was one of the pieces at the show.  This painting has made appearances at  five separate events this fall.  Jimmy has accompanied the painting on several of these occasions.  He is so different at these events; his movie talk in check, the hopping, jumping and skipping virtually absent and his loud vocalizations are significantly diminished to name a few behavior changes. His motivation to be included is off the charts.  I asked him how he felt about his painting and he responded, "are you good." Jimmy feel good about this painting and all the other works he has completed!  His sense of accomplishment is clear as is his joy when other appreciate his work. Thanks for supporting Jimmy and his art. It makes a difference for him and allows him to more fully be part of his community. His art encourages him to thrive in a way that has been so illusive in the past.  Thank you and happy Thanksgiving!
