The Rose in bloom

Hello my friends!

I have been a productive and busy person this week.  My body made me take two days off, which I filled with some relaxation and television.  I needed the rest, I work until my body makes me rest, but that's ok.

In art right now I have pirates on the brain!  You remember last week I posted Ghost ship.  This week, I have a sexy pirate lady.  It's days like this that I love my job.

The top picture you see me (and I feel like I've aged ten years this year)  with the finished piece. Then the finished piece below it.  I'm selling it for a super low price of 125.00 first come first serve. 

I am also looking for a Kindle book padd if you or anyone you know has one, I am willing to barter something for one.  I have over 500 art books, and would really like to put them in a form where when I move I don't have to bust myself up. 

I'm feeling stronger all the time, and can now push myself more in my work than I've been able to.  I have a fire in my heart to get my career back on track, and then get down to see my daughters.  I feel really blessed to be back on the road.


Now I have to tell you there is a good friend of mine who could really use some help.  Her name is Michelle, and she is facing cancer.  Help Mighty McT kick cancer's ass  That link will take you to her fund raiser page, and if you can't donate share it for her.  We all need a little help up from time to time.

So until next week, May the darkness comfort you...

Nick Rose is back and better than ever

Hello my friends,

I bet you thought I wasn't ever going to blog again.  Nope, here I am.  I'm heading into a new chapter of my life and art career now, and want to be able to share it with all of you.  It's been a tough road of moving, recovering from a surgery, and finding the daughter I never knew I had.  If that sounds like a lot in the last year, it is!

I'm well on my way though.  I'm feeling stronger and better than I have in a long, long, time.

Now that I'm back blogging I can't tell you now what all I'll be talking about.  Surely, some new art, like the picture above. "Ghost Ship".  It felt good to get into the studio after recovering from the surgery.  So good in fact that I just finished this one, and am excited to get back on the canvas again today.

Speaking of blogging, I plan on doing a post at least once a week, more than likely on Thursdays to share new art and new events going on in life.  I plan on doing some more videos soon too!  As you can tell I have a new energy to create.  I feel better and stronger everyday.

"Ghost ship" is for sale and if you are interested in the painting email me at my brand new address: nickroseart1@aol.com 

Mark that new address down for contacting me about commissions, questions, buying art, or just to drop a "Hey Nick!" in my inbox.   Before I take off to start my new painting..I want to share a few more pictures.  

This is part of my new studio set up, and man am I loving it!  

I finally have some room to move around and create!

And one more piece of new art before I go.  "Dark Priestess" was one of the last paintings I did before my surgery. 

So my friends, I'm ready for a ride into your nightmares, bringing them to life on my canvas!

Nick Rose is back and I am ready to shake the world of horror again! 


May the darkness comfort you,

Nick
