If you are an artist – in any medium – who is facing spring shows, you have our prayers. When wars and rumors of wars abound, some shows are insanely busy. People need a respite from the crushing news and fiscal realities impacting their lives. For other shows, these types of world situations can cause everyone to just want to hide at home surrounded by those they love.

We, as artists, have never been able to control these events or how people will react. From long experience, I can only say that the very best artists can do is show up, set up, pray, and forge ahead.

I have been spending these warmer spring days reorganizing my studio space. My wife continues to work on getting more of my work up on my website while working hard to get her YouTube channel growing.

I spend a lot of time working on my garden. It feels like it is going to be even more useful this year as fuel and food become more costly. And we have neighbors who are always glad to grab the excess we put out on a table near the walkway that goes to the park behind our home.

If you have time, would love to have you take a look at my shop. I have some t-shirts still available which are great for spring and a range of prints. If you have any questions, please visit the contact page.
