Woman by Candlelight - 1/4/14

       Small study in color reflection on skin.  I would like to continue to do more of these.  Since this was a fast piece, I wasn't concerned so much with capturing likeness or form.  However I am liking less and less the unevenness that these block water colors give me when using I still don't feel ready to switch to tubes just yet, rather I need to develop some sense of technique

New Years - 2014

Happy New Years to all, and wishing you the most prosperous of 2014 to come. 

Among my own private personal goals, I feel that I should list some publicly, so that I can look back on these by end of next year, to be a constant drive to me to accomplish more throughout the year. 

1) Return to using my Blog to expand upon my own sharing of concepts and accomplishments.

2) Create and finish 2 Children's Books - at least one written by myself.

3) Look to add about 15 more Watercolor pieces to my Moleskine art book, and to move onto larger scale pieces thereafter.

4) Release a few limited resin cast pieces based on some of my sculpted work.

5) Participate in at least 1 art show this year.

6) Work on at least 4 large scale sculpted pieces.

7) Learn from others, share and grow. Speak with those who share similar attitudes and goals. 

8 Take a class(es) on furthering my own abilities.

9) Motivation! Participation! Success! These are the words that I carry on into 2014. Let's get going!
