Reflection

As every new year begins, we reflect on where we have been, and look forward to where we are headed. Tonight is the eve of my flight to New York where I will be celebrating my debut on Thursday night. I never even imagined, at the beginning of 2009, that I would be showing my paintings in New York. As a matter of fact, Laguna was just as much a surprise to me as this New York thing. Last year I had no game plan and was not even publicly selling my paintings. I had some sales to clients and family but was unknown to people outside of my world.
Since May of 2009 I have now sold over twenty paintings and now have clients in other states. With the opening in New York I will have work on both coasts of our great country. What a wonderful blessing it is to be in the hands of God, using His talents to create works of art that, I hope, reflect His beauty grace and love. I stand in awe, filled with tears of joy, at the hope of what tomorrow brings. May He touch lives through the simplicity of my art and life!
