And because they have given all of themselves, they live without regret." ~Erwin Raphael McManus, The Artisan Soul - And I love it, the idea of living without reservation and leaving nothing on the table. That's how I have tried to live, and it's true that you will find yourself naked and alone, because the easy course is to play life safe yourself and be critical of those of us who leave nothing on the table. That's most people - the do-nothing critics. They don't have the guts or the skills to do something! F them!

Extremely nice guy with an amazing talent with his brushes. We decided to drop in on his shop in Grayton Beach to find a piece for our house. We needed something on a very large wall because what we had there was simply not doing the job. Clint was in the shop and helped us review some pieces and took the time to explain his process and how big a piece we would need to take up the space. His time is money, yet he took an inordinate amount of time to help us pick the right piece. And it was indeed the right piece. His rendering of a sea turtle (approximately 30" x 60") filled up the space and is the focal point of the room. Outstanding person, artist and local businessman. Passionate about his work and bringing beauty to life. Check his shop out when you can in Grayton Beach.

They have amazing artwork and creations for sale (ONLY LOCAL) in the front "gallery" half, and a large workplace with tables and supplies galore in the back. They have "classes" of sorts during the week where you pay a small amount of $10, and can either bring in your own project to work on, or a lovely volunteer staff member can help you create anything you can think of: with open use of ANYTHING they have! On the last Saturday night of every month, they have 'Drink and Draw +color': a free event (where donations are welcome), they have wines, music, sometimes bites to nosh on, and markers, pencils, and supplies to use for anyone to make some art! Definitely a new monthly tradition for my mother, sister, and myself. This place is a haven for quirkiness and creativity alike, and it's so wonderful to see a small city (who admittedly has had trouble supporting the arts in the past) keep a place like this thriving.
