About Beau & Friends
Beauregard

Red

Ollie
Ollie the baby duck was introduced in early 2012 in the painting "Sitting Duck." Ollie, a little clumsy and still earning his feathers, was named by fans who came to visit me while I was painting in my hometown of Celebration during an artist event. Ollie's spindly legs and oversized feet contribute to his adorably awkward adventures that he takes on with no reservations, no fear and an abundance of inquisitiveness.
Honu
Honu the sea turtle existed long before her name and is my first female character (she acquired her name after a visit to Hawaii). Her earliest appearance was in the painting "Meeting the Turtle." Honu is a happy-go-lucky turtle with an entire ocean to explore. She's laid back and welcomes whatever comes her way ... be it a friendly frog, a tiny sea horse (as in "See Horse") or another of her own (as in "Turtle Wave")
Lily
Lily first appeared in the painting "Standoff" in 2011. Lily has blue-hued wings and big eyes and flits around the lakes where Beau often visits. Named for her favorite landing spot (water lilies), she's a bit cautious but ready to embrace new friends she encounters in her lakes.
Busy
First featured in the painting "Busy Bee," Busy seemed a bit fearful of the tiny green frog that investigated as he visited a daisy. Beau the frog proved relentless in pursuit of his friendship with Busy ("Bee Mine") and slowly Busy is allowing himself some facetime with Beau and friends ("Bee Ready" and "Piggy Bee").
Sheldon
Appropriately named, Sheldon the turtle has been a longtime friend of Beau and Red since first being featured in "Piggyback." Seemingly ever happy and smiling, Sheldon is quick to give a ride to his pals ("Got Your Back") and, though shy when he first met the rather outgoing Ollie ("Walled Up"), Sheldon continues to prove he is a loyal and caring friend.
Sly
Sly the red fox is a relatively new Friend who is, as his name suggests, a bit sly and elusive and existed in a few paintings before finally meeting Beau (though unofficially) in the painting "Fox Hole." Sly makes only the occasional appearance and is always frolicking from place-to-place throughout his forest.
Toothpick
Appropriately named, Sheldon the turtle has been a longtime friend of Beau and Red since first being featured in "Piggyback." Seemingly ever happy and smiling, Sheldon is quick to give a ride to his pals ("Got Your Back") and, though shy when he first met the rather outgoing Ollie ("Walled Up"), Sheldon continues to prove he is a loyal and caring friend.
