January 31st, Daily Abstract Painting

Are you a goal setter? This is a new process for me this year. Back in early December I sat down and looked at where I wanted to be come January 1,2018. The next step was to come up with strategies that would help me reach those goals. My first, and most important goal was to improve my artistic skills. We all know that old saying, "practice makes perfect", well painting five days a week is my approach to "practice". These Daily Paintings gives me the opportunity to explore new materials, unusual designs and just as importantly have "a whole lot of fun in the process".

One of the biggest problems with painting my heart out everyday in my studio though, is isolation. Often I become so involved in the painting, that the day has slipped away from me before I know it. There is limited interaction with other artist, sharing of ideas, and success stories go untold. So I am turning to you,my friends, hoping you will share your ideas and suggestions. Are you a goal setter and if so how do you manage to stay focused throughout an entire year?


I realize this is a different direction for our daily visits. Yet, staying in touch means communication between the parties involved. Today I'm just trying to open up those channels.


Thank You for being part of this journey.
