Carol presents 'Dancing up a Storm' to Brent
Please go to www.wdbj7.com and check out Brent Watts' blog "Christmas Gifts Galore" - a story about presenting Brent with a painting inspired by his Art of the Weather piece. I turned the painting I was working on upside down and changed it to the storm clouds we were flying over that he showed in the piece and left his brush strokes in. He was so surprised when I took the finished painting to him.
