Goodbye to the old, hello to the new

Welcome to 2011! Having summed up 2010 in my last post, I thought it might be interesting to add some thoughts about the new year to this one.

I have great hopes for an art-filled year in 2011. What do I mean by that? I would like to see a continuing flow of portraits being created in my studio throughout the year. I would also like to see a thriving Etsy shop which will feature my greeting cards, fine art giclee prints, and ACEO cards. I would also like to see my cards and prints in some physical stores in my area. I would like to be included in several more art events and shows. I would also like to remind myself to take the time every day to noodle and experiment. Also to draw outside when the weather is nice (and sometimes even when it isn’t!) I have several old art projects that have been on my mind lately. They may not ultimately marketable but might be fun to do. I would like to take some time to explore them as well.

One never knows just how the year will turn out when you sit down to write your resolutions for the year. We all hope that the new year will be a good one filled with completed projects that have brought both joy and growth. We can also hope that we didn’t make too many outrageous mistakes along the way.

I wish you all an outrageously happy 2011 filled with the very best of all you can imagine!
