Artist mission statement?

The vision board that I just created got me thinking about an artist mission statement. I think it would be a great motivational tool. The vision board definitely is. The vision board reminds me how passionate I am about what I want to achieve. It also reminds me of the balance that is required to make my goals a reality. I'll keep you posted on my progress with the mission statement and I love to know what you think on either topic.

Creating a vision board

I am trying to add a little clarity to my life. It was suggested to me by Marisa from Creative Thursday http://www.creativethursday.typepad.com/to create a vision board. Hopefully I can do that this week. Here's a link to find out how to make one http://christinekane.com/blog/how-to-make-a-vision-board/ I'll keep you posted on how it goes and I'd love to know if you make one too.

Beautiful Day!

It was a magnificent day around here today. The kids and I spent this beautiful day walking around the neighborhood, blowing bubbles in the backyard, getting my car washed and running errands. The Hyacinth in my kitchen window are so fragrant. It was absolutely dreamy today! Yippee spring will be here so soon!

Exercise Streak

Hi all, I started an exercise streak in February on the opening night of the Olympics. And I have been exercising everyday since, for 21 days now. Boy did that time go fast. My goal is to exercise for 15 minutes a day for 100 days straight, then take one day off, and do 100 more. Join in if you feel motivated to. Even 15 minutes makes you feel great and the streak keeps you going, because you don't want it to end. Let me know if you try it. I would love to have some exercise buddies.

I love lynda.com

Hello all I just wanted all the artists out there to know about a site called lynda.com Professionals from every aspect of computer art teach courses and they are so insightful. I've almost finished the Painter 11 tutorial and I am pretty sure I could teach this program after taking this course. I also started the Photoshop top 40 and have learned a lot there too. Check it out.

I'm back

Hello all, I am just returning back to blogging. I will do a full post tomorrow. Have a wonderful day.

Happy Monday!

My watercolor class is finally starting this week. Yippee! Day after tomorrow. I am trying to cram all the watercolor knowledge in that I can, so I get the most out of the course in only 6 classes. I can wait to post some work. Well I must get back to the little ones. Their a demanding little duo.
