Mr. & Mrs. Fresh 2009

If there really were an award for Mr and Mrs Fresh, first place would most definately go to Jolleen and Odie. After seeing my portrait of the Richards family, Jolleen asked me to put in a rush order for a portrait of her and Odie so that she could give it to him for their anniversary (which is tomorrow). With Jolleen being pretty much the coolest and most generous person I've ever met, I couldn't say no. She asked me to depict them in a way that would enhance their white trash characteristics (which they are very proud of)- but no alchohol or drugs. She tricked Odie into coming over to my place so I could take pictures of them "for a project I was working on". He had no idea. Odie apparently has a fetish with coonskin hats, so I had to paint him an extra fresh one- just like Davy Crockette. However, I have never seen him in overalls, although they seem to go well with the hat, dontcha think?
When I first moved back to Colorado, and met Jolleen, I was pretty sure she was my soulmate (even if she didn't feel that way). So I started to pray that she and Odie would move from the Springs to Denver so we could get to know each other more. I think God answered that prayer by sending me Jodi, who sounds like a combination of "Jolleen" and "Odie". Jolleen+Odie=Jodi. Get it?
Anyways, I think I might be beginning a long career in family portraits, because I already have a list of orders put in.... anyone else?
