Welcome to 2013, my friends. Because of limited time and my chronic illness, I am going to be realistic about what I can do this coming year. Here are my goals:
- Work in a series as my main focus. I have already started this (my sunset paintings) and I’m looking forward to continuing with this subject. I will most likely be posting a lot of work in progress photos throughout this series.
- Publish a 2014 calendar centered around a unified theme (this should be easy if I continue with the series). This is always something I have wanted to do, and I seem to be on a roll with completing long dreamed of projects.
- Publish two editions of Mini View during 2013.
- Try to fit in studio time after Cate goes to bed on weeknights. Her bedtime is 7:30 and I think I should be able to spend one hour on most nights if I avoid browsing the internet. Doing my main artwork during her naps on weekends is not going to allow me the time I need to get things done. I am realistic that I am not going to be able to do this every day though. When I am in a bad flare, I take my medicine right away and go to bed (it makes me sleepy).
- I have a few sewing/crafty projects that I want to do for my daughter. These projects are not as special to me as my own work, but I will have to fit them into my general personal creative time so I am putting it on this list.
Here is another work in progress photo of my current sunset painting. I’m trying to think of a title, but I’m stumped so far. I’m not going to post a title until it’s finished anyway, so I still have some time.
