View of The Big Belt Mountains north of Helena.

I am excited to announce that on January 8th I found a new brightly lit apartment with 2 bedrooms, many large windows, views of the mountains that boarder the Helena Valley to the north, a heated garage and a room that is 3 times as large as my old art studio. So needless to say it has been a busy 6 weeks cleaning, packing and moving. Oh and I should mention the move happened between 2 of the heaviest snow storms we have had this season. Not an ideal time to move but here in Montana movers hardly ever cancel due to snow, ice and below freezing temperatures.  Of course this was not planned but the apartment came available and the timing was right with my work schedule so I took the opportunity. Trust me it was quit an experience. As far as art work I am working on a few commissions and painting new easter egg designs. I can’t wait to share photos of the eggs with you in the next post. I hope to have them online for purchase very soon. Below are a few photos of the new apartment. The rooms are basically set up and there are still boxes to unpack and art work to hang but this will give you an idea of the new home of Urban Pastures Art.

Art Studio which has beautiful hardwood floors and new windows.

Art studio closet that is at least 18 ft long with lots of shelving and storage space.
