Blessed Beyond Measure

Light

After what seems like forever, I am finally finished with all the major elements of my latest piece titled “Anticipation”.
I have a few items left to do on the faces, add some pink to Elizabeth’s shirt, but otherwise I be done with this one.
It is amazing to me what light and pigment can accomplish by tricking the mind. A painting is nothing more than shapes of different colors and values but in the end the brain somehow wants to makes sense of it.
Kind of takes the pressure off when I consider our brain will actually “see” the objects being painted even if it has to abandon reality to make that happen.
I like to abandon reality as much as I can so this painting thing seems like a perfect fit.
Painters Block

I have been working on a new painting off and on for almost a month. I am nearing the finish line and with any luck will have this one done this week!
I have another in the wings so no rest for the weary. They must be ready to hang the end of March, which kicks off my professional art career!
Hopefully no painters block will be heading my way any time soon.
And Start!

There has been lots of buzz around the house these last few days.
After much prayer and council we have decided to invest a little money and a lot of time into converting our garage. The best thing is we will be doing this completely debt free thanks in large part to listening to and following Dave Ramsey and getting on a strict budget.
I highly recommend it.
The new space will be primarily used for Julianne’s Piano business which is growing by leaps and bounds.
I am so proud of her.
We will also use the space for our worship team rehearsals, I will start offering voice lessons, and Alex will utilize it for audio recording as he learns the trade.
I will be taking pictures of the progress and updating the blog as we go along.
After this project is over we start on the rest of the baby steps to becoming debt free.
We have big plans and can hardly wait till the next building phase where we will be replacing our garage with a new one complete with studio space above for me. Rohr Fine Art is my motivation to live like no one else so later we can live like no one else.

I took the photograph that inspired this painting in Spain, 1991 while on a walk with my soon to be wife. We passed this couple and I quickly turned around and snapped the shot.
This piece will be a gift for a friend.

I am finished!
I am about halfway finished with my latest piece.
Jiggyness completed.
The next step is to get jiggy with it.
Peace out.

Living Water

I just finished this painting for an alumni art show.
I took the photo that inspired the painting at the lowest point of my life. We had lost our baby that year, we had adoption hopes fall through, relationships fall apart, and I gave up on God.
Here is the original photograph.
I rememberd looking at that tree out there all alone in the middle of the James river and it spoke to me in my isolation.
Turns out I was also hard of hearing because what it was really saying was:
You are not alone.
I think I am going to enjoy this art thing.
