I was pretty sure my brother would like it (he can be a tough customer), so it was purchased.<\/p>\n<p>Wanting to get them some artwork to go with that, I looked all over the place, and didn&#8217;t find anything until I discovered Sharon Shock. \u00a0I don&#8217;t know how I ran across her, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sharonschock.com\/\">Sharon posts a painting every day on her blog<\/a>, and as I was looking at her paintings earlier last year (and late into 2010), I realized that they would be a nice fit with the painting I got my brother &amp;
