Happy 2020

Hello,

How is everyone? Hope you are well. Sorry this is a bit late, after the holidays I got busy trying to organise my studio(a constant battle) and have started back at work so I never got around to writing a post :-(.

 I thought I would start out 2020 by sharing some quotes I came across Pinterest as well as some interesting videos on procrastination-something I've struggled with my whole life. This year I really want to work on keeping it under control and not letting it get in my way. Hopefully this will help my fellow procrastinators :-).

Happy New Year 2015

Hello,

Happy 2015!

Welcome to my blog- for those of you first-time visitors as well as those who are not so new...

Whenever a new year comes along I try and reflect on what went on the previous year- what resolutions I made-which ones I kept, which ones were dumped by the wayside and what hopes and promises I have for the new year ahead. Sometimes I find it a bit depressing-as I don't always achieve all my goals which seemed so promising when I made them. I'm sure I am not alone in this struggle. But, by making these goals or resolutions-it gives me something to look forward to and stay focused on.

Here are last years:

• Keep fit-I usually do 2-3 exercise classes during the week and have seen some real results, so want to keep that going. Maybe even take up a new sport.

(I kept this up till September-when I started working full time it was impossible to find the time to do it. I did try Body Combat which I enjoyed very much.)

• Eat healthy & DRINK MORE WATER!!!

(Yes, was very happy with this one-managed to stay focused.)

• Make time for art everyday- even if its a sketch or some journaling.

(Was not as succesful :-(. Mainly because of work commitments.)

• Revisit and resolve some unfinished artwork.

(I'm okay with what I tackled.)

• Create some LARGE paintings.

(Yes, created some larger mixed media paintings. But still want to make more!)

• Teach and attend some art workshops-try a new craft or art technique!

(Was not able to accomplish this goal.)

• Open an online shop.

(Nope, nada :-(. )

So what are my goals for this year? Stay healthy, creative and hopefully grow as a person as well as an artist.

Have you made yours yet???

Bye for now.
