Update!!!

In about 25 days I will be moving to Seattle. My lease runs up in a few weeks and I have decided not to renew it. Instead I am making a clean break and heading West. As far West as I can. I have lived in Atlanta for close to three years and I accomplished what I have set out to do here. I look forward to the move and the change in environment.

I will continue to post new paintings as long as I can until the day of the move. If you check my store you will see that I have already posted quite a few with "Buy it now" prices. I may offer some more larger paintings towards the end of my stay, but that is still to be decided.

Thanks

Nick

These two are the paintings I did Saturday while I was in Newnan with the workshop group. It was good to see Roger Dale Brown again and meeting Gene Costanza was great. These guys really know what they are doing.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."
