Open Studio Night January 28th, 2016

OPEN STUDIO TOUR:  To kick things off for us, Don Parks has graciously agreed to let us tour his beautiful studio and share with us his business model for success.  We will be able to observe his technique for plein air painting, and how he organizes his studio for work.  Currently, the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum is incorporating his artwork into a permanent exhibition and he will share this fascinating journey with us as well.  You will be able to ask him questions, such as how to price your work, and hear his philosophy for how to achieve prosperity with your art.  This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from an artist whose hard work and dedication has paid off.  I hope you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.  We will be meeting in his studio and refreshments will be provided:
