A New Year and a Clean Slate

As we close out this roller coaster ride called 2009, I have vowed that 2010 will be an improvement, even if only in my own mindset. I am throwing the negative out with the bath water, so to speak, and focusing on the positive.

My art endeavors have opened up a whole new world of opportunities to me and connected me with many great new friends in the process. The art has spoken. Communication without a word. If only the rest of life was so simple.

This new year will start tomorrow by putting paint on canvas for a brand new commission piece. I have before me a clean slate awaiting my best efforts, just like this new uncharted year ahead is waiting for me to decide what to make of it.

May 2010 be great for you. Clean your slate. Be positive. Give to others. Change the world.

While painting in blue mode yesterday, I had a sudden urge for orange! Seriously, I like to play cool and warm colors against each other and it really made this painting vibrate with life.

Merry Christmas From The Frozen Tundra of Oklahoma

I shot this photo looking out the window today. We are having a white-out Christmas here in Oklahoma! I stayed up until midnight working on some art gifts for family and finished those up this morning. As I type this, the sun is setting and the sky is clearing in the West. Some snow is still blowing with the hard North wind, but it looks like we will be able to travel to see some family tomorrow after all.

I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Thank you for following this blog and my art. I hope to hone my writing skills, so that these posts remain interesting enough for folks to read.

For some good reading, follow this link to a great article today on the gifts of artists by Clint Watson, editor of Fine Art Views. Clint Watson Article
