Many artists adopt the painting a day method to keep focused, in practice and disciplined. Hello New Year! I'm going to try this. I am so busy all day every day, that if I have ten minutes that are unfilled something jumps right in. My resolution is to make some small artistic effort to fill that tiny void. Wish me luck! I'll post my efforts on my Facebook and Instagram no doubt - let me know what you think!

My friends are adorable. This is a great breakfast place where I meet a friend of mine when we can squeeze in hang out time between work, kids and workouts. I arrive five minutes late one day to find Christie talking me up to the owners as a great artist. When she sees me she ushers me to hand over my card right away so the owners can send it to the art curator. With friends like these even the reluctant artist can get some traction...
