Transformation - Phase 2
At the end of February I closed the Studio/Gallery for good. Taking
down my sign was harder than I thought it would be, I had a lump in my
throat as I handed over the keys to the building and walked away.
Jerome was a great place for me to grow over the past 22 years, but I'm
ready for whatever comes next.
The good news is I am now represented by;

The first place I chose to go was Alamo Lake AZ, which is pretty
remote, but also beautiful, the birds were singing all day, and I met
some interesting people. Plus there's just something about camping near
the water. The weather was perfect except for a brief storm one
evening.
I'm now in Wickenburg (I know, exciting huh?) because I have a weird
cheap campground membership and it's a safe place to leave my camper
while I take care of some business in Phoenix. Soon I'll start heading
further north.

I finally got the shell on the back of my truck, now my painting gear,
mountain bike and generator, all the messy stuff lives back there. So
far it's working out great.

The camper modifications continue. I couldn't seem to get the roof
solar panels working, so I opened up the wall above the fridge, where
the factory installed solar port comes through the roof, only to find
the wires coiled up and not even capped off. It's a wonder it didn't
start a fire. Jeez Lance needs to improve their quality control. They
never ran the wires to the batteries, and obviously never checked that
it was working properly. I ran the wires myself and now I have working
solar on the roof also. I can't imagine someone who isn't mechanical
trying to deal with these fuck ups from Lance. I wrote them about this
one, and of course, no reply.
I'll have more soon about my trials and triumphs on the road. Follow me
on Facebook where I'll post some stuff each week. And if you see that
I'm heading toward your area, let's get together and paint, hike,
mountain bike or just share a meal. I already miss my friends in the
Verde Valley, so any social life on the road is much appreciated. Also
if you have some good boondocking spots you care to share, that is
always welcome info.
Cheers ~ Cody
Stay healthy and may art bring you some peace and comfort.

P.S. I have updated my website. Click on any painting and you will see
what gallery it is at. Prints are available as always through my
website and I am still accepting commissions from the road, turnaround
times are usually less than a month!
