A Step At A Time to Achieve Success

“ We do not have to become heroes overnight.
Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down. ”

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 – 1962) 
U.N. diplomat, humanitarian, U.S. first lady

Do you think this applies to your art career?  Boy, I do!

Countdown to Cherokee

The Cherokee Triangle Art Show is this weekend! I will be set up in my customary spot (Booth No. 408). Come by, see my new works and say hello. And remember, existing customers always get 10% off anything they buy. The Cherokee show has lots of artists, food & drinks and the layout is easy to get around. Hope to see you there!

Jekyll Island Painting Trip

Here are some images from my recent painting trip to Jekyll Island, GA. I drove down to meet my sister and her daughter, who were vacationing there for a week. I decided to drive so that I could bring my new plein air painting set up and do some painting. This was a mixed bag – It took me 12 hours to get there (not fun), but it was nice to be able to go wherever I wanted and set up my painting stuff with minimal hassle. I got some painting in and also did some sight seeing. As you can see, I got some good reference photos as well.
