12/26/2017 0 Comments December 26th, 2017I find myself the day after X-mas typing out my thoughts in preparation of changing my screen time habits in order to incorporate more now time. If readers do find themselves spending more time than just a cursory glance on this page then I welcome you and welcome you to share a thought or two about what you read or see here. This is a new venture which has a specific goal in mind. Knowing that there are others watching and taking an interest will add to the accountability I will be working towards.
In the new year I have struck an agreement with a fellow art maker (with the tacit understanding of yet another art maker) that I will spend a set amount of time making art each week that is not for a specific lesson in art making; not for the creation of art product to sell and is fully about my journey to find a voice. I hve been an art maker for quite awhile now but one that is a little unmoored. Everything interests me; inspires me and motivates me. From the art created by toddlers with the help of their caregivers to the masters. I primarily make my living as an art instructor and as such have become a bit of a dabbler. This year is my year to undabble in a dabbly kind of way. I have another blog on this webpage where I've outlined my goals and how I intend to meet them. As an artist I have hopes to stay on target but I also know that as a dabbler I may take other paths on the journey. Focusing on book making is a way to combine the need my squirrel brain has to run after shiny things while staying the course. Having two fellow creators to answer to and to steer me forward if I'm stuck or straying will also help. Keeping track of what I'm doing and how it's being done is another. What this log will be is still up in the air for me. It may just be a repository for work in progress photographs. It could be a diary of sorts where ideas are stored for further examiniation. Possibly it will be a mixture of those things and something else entirely. I will link to here from my ongoing blog And Then... and also on facebook and instagram when I think of it. But mostly I will catalog my activities in my art making here. And Then... will be where I post about teaching and other things. The countdown to the ready steady go is on. Slow and steady (mostly steady) is my game plan.
