Thinking of Nantucket this Christmas


It's a cold day her in New York, No snow on the ground yet. The bird baths are frozen and the outside water bowls fro the dogs are frozen solid. Timber stopped as he mad his way into the house and glanced down at the bowl to make sure I was paying attention to him. I replied with i know boy I see! I'll take care of you inside.

Winter is coming as much as I don't want it to be here i do enjoy the slowed pace and with the cold chill in the air it will be a perfect day to be in the studio painting away. However this morning I'm finding it hard dig in. Not that I don't want to paint today. I just have a lot on my mind. This weekend on Nantucket was holiday stroll and I was thinking about being on Island all weekend long. Its been way to long since my last painting trip and I said last year at this time that I was going to make it to Christmas Stroll this year. Well it didn't happen :(

There has been so much of life taking up time, that sneaking in an extra fun event for me is just out of the question, at lest for now. My Mother in Law has been in and out of the hospital for the past 4 months with a roller-coaster of events. It's been hard to watch. But I'm truly thankful that we are here for now. Nantucket can wait for a few more month. I just hope the New York winter will be a soft one. I just dread the thought of a long cold winter.

I have been working on some new paintings that I have been posting to the website along with some new print releases. They are getting a great response for Christmas gifts along with the Nantucket Christmas Ornaments and I will be releasing more paintings and prints as I finish them along the way at www.christopherwheat.com I also have a new way for you to book a custom painting and hold your spot in my up coming years schedule for Nantucket custom paintings. I'm very excited that this year looks like it will be a record year for custom paintings already booking into summer and have many paintings I will be doing over the winter, some from photos and some are southern homes that i will be making a trip to go paint. I hoping in the next year to make a trip along the cost of the us painting Waterfront homes and cottages. A big goal! I should look for some sponsors and to an RV trip across the US. Corporations Interested give me a call 585-329-8997 I guess I just found myself a new project to work on as I was typing this blog. So excited!
Hope you have a great day :)
Christopher
