I was coming here to suggest Doug as well! (

Thanks for suggesting him!

No kidding, I’m happy to hear that. He does have a unique story and I enjoyed chatting with him quite a bit up in Maine. He had a piece that jumped out at me and I kept going back to to. A bunch of runners’ legs from the knees down in what I envisioned was a lead pack during a race. Bright vibrant colors more in the orange and red spectrum which gave me the feeling of competitive fire…hence why I feel like it’s the lead pack.
I’ve tried to get more into art over the last 8 or so years and I’m definitely not one of those individuals who has felt that images “speak to me.” Yet this piece really sunk its teeth in me and combined with a fun weekend, the ability to meet with the artist and just have a casual chat with him was all I needed. I think my wife noticed also because she encouraged me to buy it.
Anywho, that’s my story with Doug and DUGART. He’s got a lot of cool stuff and a genuinely nice person with a story to boot. He also sends holiday cards!
Please tell him I send my best if you cross paths.
Cheers
