thank you postcard: intense and colored pencil

I don’t know that I have ever made any kind of list of new year’s resolutions. But, I am kind of inspired to make set some goals. Here is what I have so far (not in any particular order).

1. Create a body of work that will hang well together. Six pieces total.

2. Draw every day (even if it’s just 5 minutes)

3. Find friends to draw with

4. Draw from life as much as possible

5. Challenge yourself to draw subjects you find difficult

6. Read more about other artists

7. Walk 2 miles at least twice a week

8. Write about your art in a critical way, do your own critiques–maybe on a monthly basis.

9. Give a piece of art away to a friend–maybe 4 times a year (or more)
