My first ever oil painting won Best of Show at the Illinois Governor State's art exhibition this past Saturday! The painting was a focus study on color expressionism and is a portrait of my friend's dog, named Bullseye. What are those adorable puppy eyes saying to you?
Update: I had this painting up for sale for some time, but I've recently decided to keep it. Also, my family loves it so much they wouldn't let me sell it anyway. Feel free to contact me for commissions!
I am excited to say that I've been asked to photograph at Flight 102 Wine Bar tonight again! This time it's not to photograph wine, but food! Also being served at Flight 102 are amazing creative dishes made by Executive Chef David Basile! I've only heard a little bit about the dishes so far, and I'm amazed at the ingredients and amount of detail that is going into creating the food! For this reason alone they are most excited for the opening and how it will truly impress and keep people coming back!
Also - I'm excited to share a view of the bar's interior and staff below. Astounding wood design, by Austin Glidewell of Remmert Studios, is also an impressive feature you just have to see in person for yourself. Every nook and corner has a custom, unique feature. I highly suggest visiting the Flight 102 Wine Bar the next time you're in Bourbonnais, I promise you will be glad you did!

SO. I'm not sure how many of you have heard yet, but the word is certainly getting around even more quickly than any of us had predicted! It is true that there will be a fantastic NEW WINE BAR opening up in Bourbonnais/Bradley!Look it up, the name is Flight 102 Wine Bar!
The staff is outstanding, the FOOD is impossible to find anywhere else in town, and did I mention..WINE??
They are opening March 12 so make sure to start planning a night to come out with friends and check it out, because why wouldn't you? It's going to be great and everyone is so pumped!!
How do I know so much about this? Well I was lucky enough to be invited behind the scenes while the bar was still being finished, take some candid shots of the wine tasting sessions, as well as group photos of the bunch! :)
It has been fantastic there hanging out with these guys, and it's almost time to share the place with the public! So March 12, see you at Flight 102 Wine Bar! :)
