I easily have to hand it to my fiance, that man is a persistent animal and just keeps on persevering. He did whatever he had to do when it came to following his passion and making time for his art. And we now have a full on studio space added to our home to show for it, my fiance would have never been mistaken for the sort that was destined for the zone controlled HVAC of a highrise downtown. That’s my basket for sure, but I knew the second I met him that he was a true artist to the core and I think that was part of the initial attraction. I spent many afternoons inside the radiant heating of my dorm room hoping that he liked me as much as I liked him. The more we got to know each other, the more natural it felt to be together. I headed for that zone controlled HVAC of an office right out of college, he went on to get an MFA, and we were apart for about a year and a half. That proved to be the last time we were ever apart for any extended amount of time. Since then, he’s held up his end with private tutoring, a little teaching, and even landscaping. But now he’s selling his art in a large way and so we added a large addition to the back of our house. This is now his studio space that he heads to every day as I head to the zone controlled HVAC of my office. Thankfully, there is a pair of ductless heat pumps providing him with good quality heating and air in his small office now.
