Happy New Year! The painting in today's post was done about a year ago at my second pastel class with Marsha Savage. I wanted to share it with you because I plan to do another one from the same photograph every January. I want to see how I change and grow as an artist. I feel like I have come along way in a year. I know I have learned a lot but also know that I have only scratched the surface. I have had a lot of fun which is the best part of all!
So, what do I have planned for 2006? Like the title of my blog states...I want to continue to paint my world ...wherever I may end up! I actually have spent the weekend going over our 2006 vacation schedule with my family and we have all agreed on our trips. I had hoped to go to France to paint with a group of artists...but I just found out my friend Cindy has friends we can stay with in the south of France...in between Nice and the Lavender fields (heaven!!!) So we are planning a trip for the summer of 2007. I plan to use this year to become a better painter. I will continue taking classes with Marsha. I have scheduled some workshops...one with Terry Ludwig and one with Albert Handell. I also am planning to take a workshop this fall with Lorenzo Chavez at a ranch near Taos, New Mexico. He was recommended by our teacher and I really admire his work...and besides....I LOVE New Mexico and we will be there for the start of the Albuquerque Balloon Festival which is a photographer's dream!
Another goal is to start doing a painting a day again....or at least every other day! So please stay tuned! Thank you all for looking!!!
