Another new business!

Being an oil painter has required a day job lately. Trying to think of something you really want to do isn't always easy. I have a theory that if you decide what you want to do and go after it, whether it's impossible, unlikely, foolhardy or really hard, is the secret to happiness. That's why I'm an oil painter.

But I also like having enough money, so I'm creating a day job. The self-employment thing has been one of the conditions of my life. I just can't go someplace at a certain time and work for somebody else. How do people who do that ever get to the gym or the post office? How do they ever stay up really late? I just don't get it. So here's what I did.







I did give it some little clubhouse touches so I'll like being there. It's only been open for eight days. We get giddy every time someone comes in or calls. I think it's going to be fun. I love dogs and cats and I think when I go home after work I'll have a clear head from looking into all those soulful eyes and I'll be able to light a fire and paint. That would make me very happy.
