Ringing in the New Year!

It’s so nice to be home and working hard in the studio. 2007 has been very productive so far: I’m working on a new release and gearing up to hit the road again after a two month break. I’ll be heading out to Naples, Florida next week and then it’s off to California for two weeks. I’ll be going to several galleries and visiting my friends at Silver Oak on the next release day in February. Check out my event schedule and come and see me if you are in the area.

On a side note, I just want you all to know that I am still learning new technology and figuring out how to use the blog to keep everyone up to date. I would much rather be in the studio painting! I do appreciate all of the emails and I am always happy to hear from old and new friends.

I finally finished our wine cellar after two and a half years! It’s been a huge project for me and now that it’s complete I couldn’t be happier. It’s a nice place to open a bottle and have a glass with friends and family. There is, however, still a lot of space to fill, which Vanessa and I will enjoy doing! I guess it takes as long to build a wine cellar as it does to get an Arvid original . . .

This is going to be an exciting year for me. I’m getting the gears turning with some new projects and working on some great releases. I’m experimenting with painting new surfaces, such as wine crates and crate lid collages, and traveling all over the country this year to share them. I’m looking forward to meeting new friends and sharing great wine. So grab a glass and join me in toasting the New Year . . . cheers!
