And so the New Year has well and truly started.
The end of the year is always really busy with commissions and Christmas so I don't often get time to work on my own ideas especially when they are as big as this one! But I'm back on it now and getting on with lots of arty ideas. I always start the new year with some art resolutions. Here they are:
1. To finish my Adam Ant painting
2. Paint a stone a day ( it's the only way to build up enough stock for the festivals this summer!)
3. Take part in the #eyecreate100 project by painting 100 eyes over 100 days
4. Finish of the various canvases I started last year but didn't get round to finishing.
5. Improve my art
Is that enough resolutions?
So far I haven't managed to paint a stone a day but I'm painting them quite often so hopefully that will help me build up enough stock. I have also started the Eye challenge. I'm on 13/100 and really enjoying it. I'm doing pen and watercolour British wildlife eyes on one sheet of A2. I'm planning on selling prints of the finished painting to raise money for RSPB. But I have a long way to go on that yet. Yesterday I managed to finish a hare painting I started last year. I know have a crow painting out that I started so I'll carry on with that one.
It will be interesting at the end of the year to look back at these resolutions and see how many I completed. The main one for me though is to improve my art. I see some amazing artists around and it always makes me strive to do better. Having said that I'd better get back to painting.xx
