Happy New Year! I did finally finish the Sandy Series. I will post next time. We all try to think of New Year Resolutions but I prefer to think of them as goals. I do have 4 important goals for this year: 1. Keep up with this blog! Post at least two times a week ( I have neglected it for too long) 2. Attend one gallery or art related event each month. (Kind of like a date with my muse) 3. Continue my volunteer work for my local shelter 4. Submit work for publication I think these are very reachable. Maybe I should include some loftier goals? hmmmmm Over the past year I have also become a member of the Belmar Arts Council where I have had work in various group shows. As of yet I haven't sold anything but I have high hopes for the coming year. I continue to submit work to Idiosyncrazies in point Pleasant. It is a wonderful shop/gallery that showcases many local artists. Sharon, the proprietor is a pleasure to work with. Well that's all folks. I'll be back in a few days
