A New Year

This year is about starting over but it is also about giving myself permission. That sounds silly I know. What do you mean give yourself permission? You're an adult! You can do anything you like. True. Yet often we don't allow ourselves to enjoy our work or even to indulge in a little play time just to experiment with new materials or art supplies. So this year I'm giving myself permission to play. Nothing we do is a waste of time so long as it contributes to who we are as artists and what our work will become.

As for starting over, well...it is a new year. This year will be different. It will be interesting to see what kind of artist I am 365 days from now. Until then, I intend to enjoy the ride!
