wp-1586357753790.jpgHere is a beautiful home that I just got to paint for my good friends, Lynne and Michael.  They built this lovely house recently and asked me to do a painting for them.  I love the craftsman style and colors they used.  Nice!  Thanks guys for letting me do this for you.

Please Think…

Posted in Small Town Life, The Studio/Classes on April 7, 2020| Leave a Comment »

Think clip artIt’s a crazy time.  Crazy for everyone.  It’s harder for some than others.  It’s bringing out the very best and the very worst in people.  There are some programs that are being put in place to help everyone during these uncertain times.  But as a self-employed, small business owner it is a very scary time.  All I, and many other small business owners, are trying to do is to still have our businesses when this is over.   When an arbitrary date like June 10th is set for closing, it feels like a death nail.  We see reports that loans are in place and will be awarded within three days of applying but in reality they are not.  I was told today that the application I submitted a week ago may be reviewed in three weeks….to watch for an email then.  That is not very reassuring.  When I posted that it looked like I would have to close and not even have small group lessons and someone responds that they “are glad that I am doing the right thing”…let me tell you how that sounds.  It sounds like you think it’s fine that I may lose my business.  Maybe it’s not what you mean…but it is how it come across.  If you are working from home or if you still have your regular income, be considerate in the way you respond to those of us that have no income right now.  We are very sensitive now.  It’s hard…and hard to put into words.   Think about it though…. how you would be feeling if you hadn’t had an income for a few months with no prospect of one for several more months.  Would you still be so cheerful about doing “the right thing”?

Take a Look…Please!

I’ve listed new items in the Studio store.  Now in light of the total shutdown we have no income at The Studio.  We are asking that you consider a purchase of original art or a gift certificate in the coming days to help us maintain The Studio.  We hate where we are in all of this.  It’s terribly sad what will happen to so many small businesses.  We will continue to offer art that we hope you will like and will purchase.  Please take a look at the site and feel free to share. Thank you so much.
