Brad over the years has always set aside anything he was working on to help his three children with their class projects. Brad who almost always worked on paintings to the wee hours of the morning still found time to paint special little piece like this one titled "The Tennis Angel" for his daughter Haley, who was having a very difficult time with her tennis lesson through the local recreation department. She would sometimes come home in tears stating to her dad that she was no good at tennis. Her dad gave her this painting the next morning and said to her..."Just a little something to always remind you Haley".
