&lt;br /&gt;
Well I finally started overhauling the website for &lt;a href=&quot;http://artisticbalancebycarl.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Artistic Balance Photography&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;this weekend. &amp;nbsp;It has needed to be freshened up for a while now. &amp;nbsp;Some of the navigation has changed, portfolios are being updated with new categories, new images are being added and I finally added the functionality to order prints in a variety of sizes and framing options straight from the website. &amp;nbsp;Now my fans who can&#39;t come to see my work at &lt;a href=&quot;http://gallerymeraki.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gallery Meraki&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Can still get one of my photos. &amp;nbsp;I have been getting great images for the last six months so make sure you stop by the website and check out the new work often.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep Makin&#39; Art!&lt;br /&gt;

The long awaited opening of Gallery Meraki, the studio and gallery I share with Michael Malandra and Julie Scholz, was held on Saturday, September 27th. &amp;nbsp;It was a smash! &amp;nbsp;we had more people attend than we could possibly imagine. &amp;nbsp;My deepest thanks to everyone who attended the opening and helped get our gallery off on the right foot. &amp;nbsp;We will be open on weekends Fri - Sun starting October 10th.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://gallerymeraki.com/&quot;&gt;Gallery Meraki&lt;/a&gt; with it&#39;s high ceilings, painted brick walls and North light window makes a brilliant studio. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;m having a great time shooting in the new studio space. &amp;nbsp;There are some great spaces in my building and outside around the complex for even more great portraits. &amp;nbsp;We have had a great time building our gallery up from an empty old factory space. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I&#39;m so excited for the grand opening bash this Saturday the 27th. &amp;nbsp;If you are in the Hudson Valley please join us from 7-9 for Art, Music and local beers and wines. &amp;nbsp;I hope you can join us.&lt;/div&gt;

Well here we are! &amp;nbsp;One week from the launch of Gallery Meraki at the Garner Art and Industrial Center. &amp;nbsp;We have taken an old factory space and turned it into a beautiful gallery and functional studio that is worthy of our three very talented artist photographers Carl Stoveland (Me), Julie Scholz and Michael Malandra. &amp;nbsp;We hope to see you all at grand opening launch party on 9/27!&lt;/div&gt;

The space that ended up being the gallery was the first one we looked at together. &amp;nbsp;It was clear pretty quickly that while dirty and in need of some paint and elbow grease this space would make a great gallery and awesome studio for both painting and photography. &amp;nbsp;Northlight windows provide the option of photographing and painting by available light as well as traditional photo studio lighting.&lt;/div&gt;

It was decided early on that the purple ceilings would stay. &amp;nbsp;We decided on neutral gray walls to show off our photography with black and wood furniture. &amp;nbsp;From there we were off and running with the space&#39;s color scheme. &amp;nbsp;It has a fantastic vibe and is a great place to show off our work!&lt;/div&gt;

Next up this week is we hang our photography. &amp;nbsp;We all have some new work to display. &amp;nbsp;In fact we probably have enough material for our first three shows! &amp;nbsp;We have the launch party on &amp;nbsp;Saturday, September 27th from 7 to 9. &amp;nbsp;Next the gallery will be open for &lt;a href=&quot;http://garnerartscenter.org/2014/07/save-the-date/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Artoberfest at Garner Arts&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;on October 11 and 12. &amp;nbsp;Make sure you check out Artoberfest. &amp;nbsp;Many of the studios in the sprawling old factory complex will be open to the public with plenty of activities and demonstrations. &amp;nbsp;The gallery has already been used as a studio 5 times for portrait sessions and on Saturday October 18th it will be used for the editing and printing portion of a fall photography workshop being run by Gallery Meraki&#39;s own Carl Stoveland and Julie Scholz. &amp;nbsp;There is still space available for the workshop. &amp;nbsp;if you are interested contact Carl Stoveland at 845-499-0178 or be email to &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:cstoveland@optonline.net&quot;&gt;cstoveland@optonline.net&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;we are extremely proud of how the gallery has turned out, but this is only the beginning! &amp;nbsp;Look for many shows, classes and events at the gallery in the months to come. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
This gallery has been a labor of love for us. &amp;nbsp;Creating a gallery from the ground up has been an exciting challenge and at the end of it we have an amazing place to work and show off our art. &amp;nbsp;Thanks to our friends and families for all of the support and encouragement along the way. &amp;nbsp;We could not have done it without you! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Keep Makin&#39; Art!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I was looking thru my phone today for an image of the gallery I wanted to send to a friend and found this watercolor &amp;nbsp;/ ink sketch I did of a Hydrangea on Cape Cod in August. &amp;nbsp;I had completely forgotten I had done this. &amp;nbsp;It made me smile. &amp;nbsp;I have been so focused on photography and setting up the gallery that I sometimes forget I&#39;m a painter too! &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s a reminder to me to make sure I get my paints out and paint every week. &amp;nbsp;It is a promise i made myself when I decided to open a gallery and studio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope you find a piece of your art today and it surprises you in a good way! &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s a great feeling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep Makin&#39; Art!&lt;br /&gt;

Nine tracks and thirty four lights later the track lighting is up in Gallery Meraki. &amp;nbsp;We have a couple small items to get, but for all intents and purposes we are ready to hang our work in the days before our grand opening bash on 9/27! &amp;nbsp;It is a great feeling to have transformed this empty industrial space into our gallery and studio. &amp;nbsp;I can&#39;t wait for everyone to see it.&lt;/div&gt;

Visitied the the Root Museum of Americana in Daytona today. &amp;nbsp;It was a smallish exhibit, but had some great old Coca Cola / Racing / and and an old drug store and all its furnishings. &amp;nbsp;The exhibit made for some fun chances to use my camera and get some interesting shots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What did you photograph today?&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;We have a break in the action setting up Gallery Meraki for a few weeks while we wait for supplies we have ordered to arrive. &amp;nbsp;In the meantime I headed down to Florida to spend time with Mom and Dad. &amp;nbsp;I have had some time to run around with my camera while I&#39;m here. &amp;nbsp;My favorite is me and Mom at Daytona Beach. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

to this!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Things you can&#39;t see are air conditioning, refrigerator, the cabinets have been painted and a hanging system installed. &amp;nbsp;What&#39;s next you ask. &amp;nbsp;Purple base molding should arrive this week, we order trade show panels to allow us to have more display space n the middle of the space and we will need to purchase and install spot lights. &amp;nbsp;The big opening / launch party will be September 27th from 7-9. &amp;nbsp;This place will look amazing when it is all decked out in our photography! &amp;nbsp;So why push so hard for two weeks if we are not opening until late september? &amp;nbsp;Well back when this all started we knew late july was going to be busy for all of us and agreed to get as far ahead as possible before we had our break. &amp;nbsp;Some time in mid august we will finish the install and start hanging our photos. &amp;nbsp;I can&#39;t wait to be able to show you all the finished space… Hopefully in person.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Here are my partners in Gallery Meraki Julie Scholz and Mike Malandra. &amp;nbsp;We made a shopping run to IKEA yesterday and got the furniture for the &#39;chill zone&#39; in the gallery. &amp;nbsp;We even got it all assembled and in place without injury. &amp;nbsp;Next week I will post an update of what the space is looking like and what we will be doing next before our launch in September.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
It was PERFECT and really fit the approach the three of us bring to our photography and painting! &amp;nbsp;So we were able to work as a group come up with a solution and turn a lemon into lemonade! &amp;nbsp;We are working on logo designs now for Gallery Meraki and I already secured the website address. &amp;nbsp;All is good!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More progress made on the new studio / gallery today! &amp;nbsp;I got the office painted and cleaned up. &amp;nbsp;Next step in there is the chalkboard paint we bought for over the desk. &amp;nbsp;In the gallery itself I spent a couple of hours doing touch up work. &amp;nbsp;The space is really coming together. &amp;nbsp;Now I am getting quotes for portable partition walls to make more hanging space and a hanging system so we don&#39;t have to put holes in our nice new wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can&#39;t wait until we are ready to open and have our launch party. &amp;nbsp;We will do that in September when folks are back from summer vacations. &amp;nbsp;That gives us a chance to take our time and get everything right before we open the gallery.&lt;br /&gt;

I mentioned in an earlier post that I took an 800 sq ft studio / gallery space with two of my favorite photographer&#39;s Michael Malandra and Julie Scholz. &amp;nbsp;Here are some photos of the space as it progresses from tired and old to a vibrant gallery space. &amp;nbsp;We (along with our amazing spouses Wendy, Susan and Durant) made great strides in the first full two days of work we have been able to put into the place. &amp;nbsp;So far we have internet / AC / &amp;nbsp;Carpets have been cleaned / we did some demo work and painted the interior. &amp;nbsp;The gallery (We are calling it GARNER24 (Garner Arts Center building 24) is in the old Garner Dye works where fabrics were made since the mid 1850&#39;s. &amp;nbsp;Later this week I will share some photos around the old factory complex. &amp;nbsp;It has really fueled my artistic inspiration. &amp;nbsp;Next up for the gallery. &amp;nbsp;We will paint the office gray and white with a big space of blackboard paint for ideas and notes. &amp;nbsp;We will paint the windowsills gloss black and start to figure out what to do with the exterior space in the hallway. &amp;nbsp;Should be another busy week.&lt;/div&gt;

We opted to paint the walls a nice clean gray that will really show off our photography.&lt;/div&gt;

Here is the start of day 2 of work. &amp;nbsp;Notice the stairs are gone. &amp;nbsp;That opened up about 80 sq feet we can use for a &#39;chill zone&#39; with a couch etc. &amp;nbsp;Also the kitchen cabinets went from oak to the same white we painted the long brick wall to help make them less noticeable.&lt;/div&gt;

End of day 2. &amp;nbsp;Three tired but happy artists (Julie, Mike and Carl) have a nice &amp;nbsp;fresh gallery. &amp;nbsp;It is almost ready to hang a show. &amp;nbsp;That will happen later this summer.&lt;/div&gt;

Today is the final day of my Show in Piermont. &amp;nbsp;It has been a great show and I have had a wonderful time meeting new people and catching up with friends and fans of my work. &amp;nbsp;Next for me is the giant leap of getting our new place GARNER24 Gallery up and running. &amp;nbsp;We will be working on the space this summer with a some work up in August and a big opening bash in September. &amp;nbsp;More to come on that in the next few weeks!&lt;br /&gt;

I just finished my second weekend of my show &#39;Close to Home&#39; at the Piermont Flywheel Gallery. &amp;nbsp;Having a solo show at a gallery is a very interesting experience. &amp;nbsp;In general my shows are well received by the people see it and I get nice comments. &amp;nbsp;Sometimes my work will move somebody and that is really great. &amp;nbsp;Other times I end up having these amazing conversations. &amp;nbsp;Today I had a compliment that I will carry for a long time. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;ll think about it on those inevitable days when I question choice to follow my dream and pursue my art full time. &amp;nbsp;A gentleman took a while looking at my photos and not saying anything. &amp;nbsp;He kept coming back to this photos. &amp;nbsp;Finally he spoke and asked if I was the artist. &amp;nbsp;I said yes. &amp;nbsp;He was interested in how the photo came to be and had some technical questions and some nice comment. &amp;nbsp;The last thing he said, without knowing me and passion for the work of Edward Hopper and my deep connection to him, said &quot;If Edward Hopper were a photographer this is the kind of photo he would have made.&quot; &amp;nbsp;It made my day to hear those words. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

On Tuesday, June 10th I taught a spring photo workshop with the very talented teacher and photographer Michael Malandra. &amp;nbsp;We spent the morning photographing Stony Brook in Harriman State Park and then went to the Torne Valley Winery for editing, printing and a wine tasting. &amp;nbsp;We had 8 students of all levels and they all got amazing photographs, as you can see by the images below. &amp;nbsp;Everyone had a fun day! &amp;nbsp;Michael and I are working on a schedule of future workshops which I will announce here. &amp;nbsp;Artistic balance Photography is off to a great start.&lt;/div&gt;

So where did I leave off with the adventures of Artistic Balance. &amp;nbsp;Oh yeah... I remember. &amp;nbsp;I started this blog for two reasons. &amp;nbsp;the first was to show off the work I was doing. &amp;nbsp;The second was to have a place to talk about the work life balance of an artist with a full time corporate job. &amp;nbsp;In the 6 or so years I have had this blog I have grown in so many ways as an artist and a person. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;m now convinced growing up is a process we do our entire lives. &amp;nbsp;I have had much success in these six years and have found the biggest struggle has been having enough time and energy to do everything I want to do and do it well. &amp;nbsp;I finally came to the decision this year, with my lovely Wenderina&#39;s help to pursue my art full time! &amp;nbsp;I am cutting back at my job to a per diem roll of two days a week. &amp;nbsp;That helps us pay the bills but gives me time to purse Artistic Balance as a business. &amp;nbsp;June 1st is when this took effect. &amp;nbsp;Since June 1st I have had a booth at a street fair, taught a nature photography workshop (with the excellent photographer and teacher Mike Malandra), opened my third solo show at the Piermont Flywheel Gallery. and signed the lease on an 800 ft studio &amp;nbsp;/ gallery space I am opening this summer with Mike Malandra and the very talented photographer Julie Scholz. &amp;nbsp;The solo show is called close to home. &amp;nbsp;I have posted about that in recent posts. &amp;nbsp;The Studio / Gallery (we really need to figure out a name) will be a work space during the week where we can work, do shoots, teach classes and workshops and on weekends be converted to a gallery. &amp;nbsp;It is a very exciting time for me. &amp;nbsp;I will continue to use this blog for my photos as well as weekly updates about the things I learn about starting my own small art business for those that care about such things or are considering taking the same giant leap of faith I am taking. &amp;nbsp;I could not do this with out my amazing wife Wendy, our loving and supportive parents and our friends who are encouraging me on. &amp;nbsp;I am really excited to be starting the gallery with Mike and Julie. &amp;nbsp;They are both incredible artists but also and more importantly great people. &amp;nbsp;Wish me luck on this new, crazy adventure I am on! &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep Makin&#39; Art!&lt;br /&gt;

P.S. Thinking of my friend Dave King today. &amp;nbsp;He would have been cheering wildly and sending all sorts of greetings from England in that wonderful understated way he had. &amp;nbsp;I miss exchanging comments with you daily sir.&lt;br /&gt;
