Will he like you, or grab the shotgun and growl, "stay away from my daughter?" Fortunately for yours truly, beyond a mutual love for Erin (my girl, his daughter), a quick rapport and mutual enjoyment of scotch, Tom Hessel and I share another love - art.

Featured Artist | Paul Ryan, Lake Champlain Featured Artist | (1)
Boston-based artist Paul Ryan shared his latest canvas, a wedding present for his sister. In his own words, "Lake Champlain is very close to where I grew up on the western edge of Vermont.
