Well here we are at the cusp of 2017 and an opportunity to start again.  I always love the new year especially now after the trying year that 2016 was.  We lost a lot of wonderful people including a dear member of my extended family.  Plans that I had to move closer to my family proved not to work out; for the best I believe, but at the time it was very difficult. Of course there was the election and no matter what side you were on, it was difficult.

So now I look forward to 2017. The last week of December I always tie up louse ends and finish setting goals for the New Year.  I don’t really play with resolutions, I know myself to well. They will be broken by February.

One of my upcoming jobs in January will be starting the ELF sets for Park Avenue Theater, the wonderful Youth Theater in Prescott.  These kids are outstanding, and I love it so much when they see the sets for the first time.  All the hard work is worth it when I see the smiles on their faces

January 13, and 14, is my New Workshop “Creating Positive Energy Art”.  If you have been sitting on the fence now is the time to act.  I have 2 seats left.

Here are a trio of happy painters who took my “Having Fun With Acrylics” Workshop.  I know you will have a fun time just like they did.  Here is a link to the Workshop.

I have also spent the year-end re-launching a new website where you can find my e-commerce site.  This is where you can purchase my original paintings and giclee prints of many of my popular pieces. I will be selling gift products after the first of the year so please sign up for my newsletters so that you will know when the new launches are happening.  I may even surprise you with a webinar, workshop this year for those out-of-towners.

Lastly, I have a show coming up on February 10th at the Duce in Phoenix.  I hope to see many of my Phoenix tribe that night.  If you want advance tickets (they are cheaper than at the door)  Here is the link.

So Let’s all make it a good year.  HAPPY NEW YEAR,  and HAVE A PROSPEROUS 2017
