This is Nolin

This is Nolin.  It is a painting of my precious grandson, Nolin Thomas Hofler, created for the exhibit, "Seeing Red", at my co-op gallery in Virginia Beach.  Nolin is two years old and has beautiful red curly hair that is not really red, but orange, or some may call him a ginger, or carrot top.  According to Wikipedia, only 1- 2 % of the population has red hair, so he is pretty special.  Red hair is also associated with light skin color, light eyes, and sensitivity to the sun.  A common belief is that redheads have fiery tempers.  Now, I won't say that Nolin has a fiery temper, but he does have his moments when things just don't go as he had planned.  After all, he is two years old.  
The Opening for the exhibit, "Seeing Red", is this Friday at The Artists Gallery, 608 Norfolk Avenue, in Virginia Beach, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.  Hope to see you there.
