Introduction	I have always loved art and practicing dentistry allowed me to express my creative side for many years. Unfortunately, arthritis resulted in an early retirement. I have found that I can express myself through painting at my own pace and I love it. If you like my paintings, Gigi and I would love to share them with you. I will do some commission work but I cannot work real fast due to the arthritis. Anyway, I would appreciate any feedback from you real artists out there. I have some bad news. My precious Gigi has terminal oral cancer. It's very ironic, since as a dentist I was fortunate enough to never have a patient experience oral cancer! She's had surgery and we're hoping she will live another year. The patriotic Gigi was painted the week before her surgery. For now she's happy and has actually gained weight eating mushed up fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Please pray for her.
