All of that will definitely keep me busy! What are your goals for 2010? I'd love to hear about them in any comment you care to leave. Please click on the above links to see more work by the artists I've mentioned. Have a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year in 2010! Thanks for stopping by.
Humph! My post disappeared. SO like I was saying .. :-) ... I intend to MAKE more art in 2010 - to take advantage of the nifty art spaces here at home, and to not just make art when I am in a workshop. I have all the same PERSONAL goals as you, Nina; well, except for one. I've already read the 4 books in the Twilight series! And I might add this to my list: to make sure I spend more time with my ART BUDDIES in the new year. The relationships I'm forming through taking art classes are precious to me. HAPPY NEW YEAR, you. xoxo - Davi
ReplyDeleteAwesome goals!! And my gosh I'm jealous of the classes. I checked out the online ones and I may be tempted. Beautiful artwork. I really like the one you did in Julie Prichard class.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Lots and lots of goals!! Sound great though. I remember KGB radio from when I was in high school in El Cajon. We listened to KGB OR KCBQ. Small world.
ReplyDeleteYou know..I never write goals down or make resolutions.. I usually have ideas in my head and work through them one at a time. Thanks for the mention too. :)
ReplyDeleteChris and I will post our class info on Jan 8th..stay tuned. :)
Ooh ooh I want to take that watercolor class too! And Im looking forward to seeing your portrait faces. xoxo

I've considered setting goals for my art, but I've been dealing with a depression so deep that even creating doesn't want to touch it. So I am hesitant to set goals I know I probably won't meet. I'm going to subscribe to your blog so I can watch you as you fulfill yours, though, especially drawing pretty faces. Something I'd love to know how to do. Oh, and the Twilight series, excellent fun reading!
ReplyDeleteHappy and safe New Year!
Happy New year! we have lots of goals in common.I plan to take Misty Mawn's faces class and fabulous faces with willow and Mysteles gut art . Oh and I loved the twilight series!! Can't wait to see what you do in the new year.
ReplyDeletethank you for mentioning me. i to want to take some of these workshops. i have already taken many by claire lise's workshops and LOVE them. i have always wanted to take a class by the incredibly talented helen shafer garcia. it would be awesome to learn something about how she handles watercolor - takes finesse, i'm sure.

ReplyDeleteI'm with you Nina. I want to take more classes and get more comfortable with all kinds of mixed media arts. I also look forward to spending more time with our group. It's fun, entertaining, inspirational and educational. With that in mind, I hope to see you soon. xo
