Do What You Love!


       It has been a long and fun holiday season with all the cookies and loved ones visiting but it’s about time to get back to work. The new studio is almost functioning with just a few glitches that will be worked out by use.

Selected for the permanent collection in
Shiawassee Art Center
Blue Dune
       The holiday art shows will be coming down this first month of 2020 and new paintings delivered to start out the New Year. We are happy to announce that one of our new favorite shore paintings, Blue Dune, has been selected to be in the permanent collection of Shiawassee Art Center, Owosso Michigan. A big thanks to the hard working folks at SAC who continue to make art experiences possible in a beautiful setting for artists and art lovers in lower Michigan.

       We also send special thanks for all the support and encouragement throughout the very unusual 2019. May you all be safe and prosperous in the new year. Now back to work in the studio! As my wife’s mother often encouraged me, “Do what you love.”

Back to work! at Joel F. Ellis Art
