The New Year is an exciting time for artists. Once your artists eyes have opened there are so many many things to capture and express on canvas!! If you have only done a few paintings or are ready to approach a gallery, the New Year is a blank canvas ready for our imagination.
I set goals within the first three weeks of Jan. and find much to my surprise,, many of them just happen to get done by the end of the year. I have three major areas that I work on, if I have too many I get bogged down. I am all for a balanced life a long as it is mostly art!!!
1. What paintings/juried exhibitions/events do I want to do.
2. What do I have to do to make this happen
3. What resources are needed-time frame, materials, marketing
The top two events for Hidden Talent are the Trade Fair held late March and our Mona Lisa Black and White held mid-April. I am also planning more glazing workshops for late spring.
Now is the time to look for images for next years Christmas cards. I tend to ignore this until I absolutely have to get one done. I am almost out of cards, so the pressure is on.....
What are your goals? Are they important to spell out? Do your New Years Resolutions usually happen? Leave a comment...maybe by just putting it down you can make it happen!
