Hi everyone! It has been a while since I have posted and so I wanted to 1st thank all of you! I bought in on the Black Friday Deal! and just bought a couple more domain names.

I love the outdoors and most of my day to day work is outside. I will be starting a new site called The Outdoor Dream dot com and fill in with my outdoor hobbies.

I also have a partner to help me on the East Coast with my paintings. I used to sell art out of a restaurant here in Napa Valley. That lasted for 12 years and then the place closed down by a winery named Kendall Jackson because they balked on their lease early but the owner of the restaurant got a great settlement out of it and opened an ice cream shop!

Anyway my partner and I have decided to start Crown Rose Compass. Soon I will upload some recent paintings to the site. She is my marketer and she will be calling interior design companies, real estate companies and has a few places already picked out where she knows the owner.

In my past years as an artist I like many could not live off it. I probably only sold around 50 paintings during those 12 years and at one point had on and off 5 to 7 public places for them. Never made it to a gallery. One Curator didn't even want to see my work unless I had around 100 pieces and already shown in places like LA and New York!!! Can't help but laugh a little at that!

I hope all of you are chugging along with your goals and enjoying the development here at Wealthy Affiliate. This is such a positive place to build new lives.

Kyle, Carson, Jay and all the rest of you thank you so much!
