Fresh Hope for a New Year

"Hope"    side 1 of a 12x12 diptych  SOLD

I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve. I am going to try to catch the fireworks in my hometown.

I have been working on my resolutions. I prefer to think of them as goals. They look increasingly familiar to the goals of the last few years...eat less, exercise more, swear less, think more, improve your art work, travel somewhere warm, take a good workshop...!

Has anybody got anything good to add?

Hope

I have reached a point where I want more, to go deeper, become more successful with art. I am starting to work my way through the books "Write it down, make it happen" and "The Artist's Way". I like to set goals rather than make "resolutions" but they are the same thing for me. I truly feel that writing through the exercises brought me to where I am today, getting to make art, having been able to travel to places I never thought I would get to, getting married a second time. Now I am ready for more. First, I have to figure out what that more is!

 I must be on the right track because when I was trying to think of an image to go with this post,"Hope' is the image that immediately fell under the cursor.
