We all can do better, Earth Day! Everyday.


It is true like it or not we all can do better. I remember in school that teachers would have us do projects on better ways to keep our environment and earth a heathier, energy efficient and friendly world. What really makes me sad is the fact that since the start of Earth day celebration in 1969, founded by John McConnell an environmental activist, I feel we have not made it priority enough. I was born near that time and 4o years has passed and we still struggle as a nation to have better energy policy, cleaner water and air, We have failed till now. I came across this video a few months ago and want to share it with you. It will speak to your heart, it did to me and brought me to tears. Please take the time to do earth day every day and not just once a year. Let's be the leaders that we once were and not be the follower. This could be the way that we build our economy to a better place than it ever was. We can do it better and we all can do better, so will you join me in sending this message to everyone, We all can do better, Earth Day everyday. Let's find better and more cost effective ways in our transportation and lets utilize the natural resources like the wind to create energy for our homes. Let's look at this time that we live in as a learning curve for all of us. 40 years of missing the mark is heart breaking and that maybe why we are here today looking for better ways. Please join me today and take a new first step in to a better world, Make the commitment for you and your family. Check out this video it broke my heart to see and hear it. This girl was speaking when I was only in high school, imagine if we had listened to her. Yes, we have lost time and damage has been done, but lets not let another 40 or 20 years go unchanged, let us hear and take action this time. Thank you for listening this time.

As an artist I have had the opportunity to paint many custom paintings for clients including this beach path to Madaket Beach on Nantucket island.

This was a special panting for the couple that marks a special moment in there life commitment to each other as there journey through life goes on it will serve as a special remembrance to that special day.

My specialty is custom paintings and if you would like to capture a special view in a custom painting please consider the value in owning one of my paintings.

Currently booking portraits for this summer. I welcome you to view my website at http://www.christopherwheat.com/custom-portraits.htm here you will find the info you need to get started.

Notes: Nantucket is a special place for me and at some point in my life I look to make a significant contribution to the islanders home owners and summer residents with my paintings. I have been painting on Nantucket for over 15 years and over the past 5 years have been making that my main focus. If you know of someone that might like what I do please pass them my name and information.
