Dear Subscriber,
So what do I do when I think I have a fairly empty month? A Painting
Goal of course!

A Goal of 15 Paintings
in December
Image 5889583
I need a little kick in the *---* to get myself back into the regular
painting habit. Especially with having been accepted (so far) into
three highly-rated art festivals
this coming spring.
Gotta restock the inventory!!
But though my head is full of ideas enough for a 31-in-31 (entire month
of Daily Paintings) I must admit to some fear of not accomplishing it,
so I've gone easy on myself and set my goal to 15. Hopefully that will
get me back into the groove and also leave me a few days for a
Christmas break.
If you'd like to follow along you can sign up for New Art Alerts
from my
website (if you haven't already), or 'join for free' on my Patreon

painting!
