No matter what those New Year’s
resolutions are, for some reason, by the third month, resolutions are often long
forgotten. For some people, they’re gone sooner than that.
I believe we need to give our
list some careful thought and intent - then follow through.
What are you going to do
differently - in terms of your ART - this year? What are your goals and desires?
What are you determined to achieve?
#5 - Have my first show… my dream/vision past few years has been
to have a show of my paintings -- I will have to work hard, which means
painting faster for me! Big dreams, but life itself is a DREAM!
#4 - Do at least one painting in size/shape that's outside my
norm -- whether extreme portrait format, large square or a huge one!
#3 - To experiment with a new media...watercolour!
#2 - To stop fiddle-farting around on the internet (and in
between paintings) and re-dedicate myself to painting!
#1 - To have fun, enjoy myself at the studio and make 2013 a
great year! And not let other negative people get me down!!! :)
Another neat idea given to me by a friend which I’m going to do
myself: starting tomorrow, get an empty
jar and when something good happens in 2013, write it down and pop it into the
jar. Next New Years Eve, empty that jar and read what awesome stuff happened
over the year!
