Recently I’ve shared about how I moved into a new art studio at the beginning of the year. It took some setting up, but I’m finally settled in. I’ve completed a couple paintings, a drawing, and working on two more paintings. God has been good to me. He’s provided rent for me (often just at the last minute) and I have room to work on big canvases like my current 48″ x 72″ project.
More on that later.
Right now though, I would like to invite you to my Open House event Saturday, February 20th, from 1-4 pm. I’d love to meet with you and chat, show what I’m working on right now and a few older pieces as well. There will be some hors d’ ouevres and refreshments.
It’s a little tricky to find my studio, since the address doesn’t show up on Google Maps yet, but here’s a map I made to help you out:

I hope to see you there and thanks for supporting me as an artist!

This is a very short post just to say thank you to all who came out to visit me at the Falling Leaves Art Studio Tour! For those who were not able to come, thank you for your encouraging words and support of my art career.
From the beautiful weather to the great turnout, to the excellent hospitality of the hosting studio and artist, Ron La Blanc, I had a great time at the tour. I sold several prints and made contacts for future art commissions. But the best part of all was the in-depth spiritual conversations I had with folks over a cup of hot cider while viewing my artwork.
Next year , I plan on having a greater selection of prints available as well as originals. To do that, I will need to set more clearly defined goals that keep me on track all year long, complete with a production schedule of artwork. Custom art commissions are always incredibly welcome, and I thank God for them since they provide a more guaranteed income enabling me to continue to produce art, but they can leave me with less time than I’d like to create my own ideas–typically, narrative art with an inspirational, encouraging message.

But that means I just need to use my time more efficiently so that I can fit both originals and commissioned work into my schedule. One of the resources that is great for keeping a guy on track, regardless of their profession, is blogger and author Michael Hyatt’s Ideal Week. In it, he shows how to block your time out on a weekly basis for maximum effectiveness. I’ve got mine all filled out, and now it’s just a matter of implementation!
Well, the autumn colors are steadily growing in brilliance. Get out and enjoy God’s creation and discover new sources of inspiration!
