2011 has been a wonderful year for me and my art career. I’ve painted more than ever. My paintings have found their way onto the walls of so many new collectors. I’m ending the year full of ideas for future projects. Things are good!
For 2012, I’m looking forward to keeping up my momentum in the studio. They say that an artist should have three exhibits’ worth of work on hand at any given time, and next year I’d like to actually do that. I’m also planning to explore new avenues for exhibiting and selling my paintings both in person and online. I’m excited to see where my art takes me next.
I am so grateful to all of you who have visited this blog and followed my progress during this past year. Thank you! And I’ll be back with more paintings and posts after the holidays.

So, Art Every Day Month is over, and I survived my Open Studio on Sunday (actually more than survived – enjoyed!). Now what? I still have a few paintings to package up and deliver to collectors, but otherwise my to-do list has become blissfully short.
In the studio, I’m looking forward to getting back to painting my dirndl portraits. I want to get the entire 10-12 painting series finished by the end of January or early February.
Since it is December, I’m also starting to think about my big goals for next year. I have some shorter-term goals for the beginning of the year, but so far I’m having trouble thinking of some good ones for all of 2012. What’s next for my art career? In general, I’d like to continue to push myself as an artist, creating work I am proud of. I’d like to continue to expand my work’s audience and collector base. But the specific way forward is still a little hazy. Hopefully it will become clearer over the next couple weeks.
What are you up to this December?
