THREE MORE WEEKS

I think the mural will just about be finished in about three weeks. I hope so, because I'm needed in the studio also. I will be selling artwork in Scottsdale, Arizona January-March of 2012. This means, I have a large number of paintings, frames and prints  to get ready for this event (Celebration of Fine Art). My goal is to return to Utah in early spring with $100k or more in my pocket. It has been done before by other Utah artists who have participated in Celebration of Fine Art. If they can, I can! The sooner I get the mural finished, the more time I'll have to get things ready for this big event. If I'm lucky, I won't catch pneumonia or bronchitis like I did through April to June of this year while working on the MC Print Mural. If I got sick during this Celebration of Art event, it could be a miserable three months. I will do my best to stay well and sell lots of artwork.
