I woke up with the sense that the news was not going to be good. When I learned this morning that my dear friend Mick McGinty went to be with the Lord I could not say the words to Jana as the words would validate that he was no longer with us. I had talked to Mick a couple weeks ago and he calmly described his diagnosis of stage 4 cancer. His voice was steady and serious yet I heard no complaint or regrets. Soon we were talking about Art and Painting which had brought us together as students at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena in the late ’70’s. While we were at church my pastor started a sermon about Blessed are the Poor in Spirit , for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Poor in Spirit means a person who is humble and contrite . A person who knows he doesnt have full complete understanding and knowledge of everything but is willing to have a teachable spirit. I immediatetly thought of my buddy Mick, who by all measures had an extremely successful career as an illustrator and painter, yet was one of the humblest artists and human being that I have known. I teared up a bit and leaned over towards Jana and told her Mick had died. When did you find out she asked… this morning I replied. The words came out of my mouth. Our phone conversations had come to an end. I have to really thank my buddy Chris Hopkins who brought us together when he suggested we be a part of the Air Force Art Program back in the day. We all came together in Washington DC for the Gala event and I reconnected with Mick. He was a legend in our circles as he was one of the artists hired by the famous Williardson and White Group. He would soon work on huge ad campaingns and album covers. Chris invited both of us to attend the Masterpiece Christian Artist Conference along with Thomas Blackshear back in 2010. Mick lived in Gilbert, Arizona and we would carpool from Auburn to Ashland Oregon to teach students. One time we even hung out in Bodega Bay to paint the local landscape. It was a time that I will always remember as we shared our visions of starting a second act in our careers as fine art painters instead of working for Ad Agencies and Publishers. We formed a strong bond and we would talk for hours on the phone about our struggles and insecurities and what painters and paintings inspired us . Along the way, we would encourage each other and I can say we were each others biggest fans. The sadness returns as I know I can’t just pick up my phone and call Mick to ask him an art question or shoot the breeze about his adventures painting at the Grand Canyon. But I’ll remember our long talks and fellowship and thank God that Mick was a part of my life.
