What’s better than a painting studio at the beach?
What’s better than a painting studio at the beach? Not a whole lot for me. I’ve been walking around telling me wife I’d like to have a place to paint at the beach for years and then I got a call from a friend who says another friend of his is looking to rent out part of his loft space so he can start his fine art career and would like me to come and share it with him!
Wow! Not too bad, huh? And, I know the guy and his work and we’ve even got the same “think” about how we want to eventually just be fine artists and slide away from commercial graphics but never seem to “just do it!”
I spoke to him on the phone and then went to see the space and it’s perfect! I won’t get into too much detail here, but let’s just say within a month I’ll be gettin’ pretty dirty with paint and sand!
Here’s a few pictures of the place…
Blue door on the right is the entrance and that's the beach far left!

Thanks for coming and reading my blog.
hi great stuff!!!!!!
please keep in touch
Hi Cookie! Thanks. Yes…let’s stay in touch.
sounds great, i’m jealous
Yes….well, I’ll just have to have a big party and invite you and everyone else!
Bravo Good for you I’m all for the big party and hope you get VERY dirty with paint and sand and wish you more success than you’ve ever hoped for!
Hey Barry, this is exciting.
I’d really like to get in comm with you re the possibilities of making a living wiht fine art. I keep getting into other things because I think I need to — but I really would like to just do my art. The problem is I simply haven’t found the right market yet.
Recently got a commission for a house portrait — so that’s a good start into a fun market.
Would love to brainstorm with you and exchange resources, etc.
Do you have a website with your art on it?
Are you familiar with artspan.com and fineartamerica.com? I’m on both of them. Very cool sites. fineartamerica.com does print-on-demand giclees for all the images you upload. I haven’t sold any yet, but the concept and setup are good. I obviously need to drive qualified, interested prospects to the site. So the marketing end of it is key (if I depend on Internet sales).
Anyway, hope we can chat sometime.
Give me a call if you want at 562 436 4543.
