Happy New Year!

KUDZU ARTZONE

A little bit of a late start........I have painted since my last posting in November, but haven't photographed any of my work!  Every time I had a moment (of which there were few the past two months), the weather was too bad to take any photos.  My goal for 2010 was to paint every day.  I did not make that, but in all fairness I want to focus on the positive.  I painted twice as much as the year before. I had a fantastic experience this summer as an artist in residence in Breckenridge, CO.  I took two inspirational workshops and have joined several new art organizations where I have met new artist friends.  I did not post all of my work on this blog, but most definitely attempted over 100 paintings.  Not enough...but PROGRESS!

In October, I branched out and rented space at KUDZU ARTZONE in Historic Norcross.  I realized when I rented the space that the last quarter of my year was overwhelmingly busy and perhaps would not have the time to commit to being there, but I took the leap anyways!  There are always so many reasons why NOT to do things like this, but sometimes you just have to take the leap. I plan on fully rising to the challenge in 2011. My studio at home is not lit nearly as well as this beautiful space and there are no "non related art interruptions."  It has been a pleasure painting with my new studio mates at Kudzu.   I am looking forward to painting there more frequently in 2011 and hope to post twice as much this year as the year before!  

Whatever your goals are for 2011, I wish everyone a successful and Happy New Year!!!
