Ghost Ranch Painting
First, the art. Arizona painter Neil Myers found the photo below on my blog and asked if he could use it as reference for one of his paintings. The wonderful results are above. You can see more of his amazing work on Neil’s Website.
I love that Neil contacted me and asked for permission to use my photograph and I’m even more thrilled that he will pay me a 5% commission when the painting sells for that use. Very cool. Thanks Neil and good luck with the sales.

Taking a Leap
Last week I made a big decision. I’m putting my house on the market. Selling my big suburban dream home and beautiful studio. I’m downsizing - smaller house, smaller mortgage, smaller studio, smaller commute. I’m going to leave the suburbs and move to Denver close to my kids’ school.
My word for the year is courage and this decision was a huge opportunity to use that word. I’ve been in this house for 13 1/2 years so moving is going to be a big change. Yet it all feels right. I’m excited about the positive changes in my life that will come about as a result of this move.
Giving up my large studio in the short term (I’ll likely move again in 6 years when my daughter graduates from high school) feels like the right decision. I know I can make art anywhere and I’m determined to keep pushing my career forward. So that is exactly what will happen.
