Painting #2/52




“Heading Home”
8x10 Acrylic on Panel
Available at Etsy.com


Yesterday, I learned about Mindy Lighthipe’s 52 paintings in 52 weeks personal challenge for 2012 . In her inspiring post, she describes the differences between “resolution” and “challenge”, along with the purpose of creating this goal for herself. I enjoyed reading the comments from other bloggers and decided to join this challenge, with one slight adjustment. Instead of producing a new painting every week, I will strive to complete 52 paintings comfortably throughout the year, leaving more time to adjust each piece, as necessary. This will encourage my presence in the studio and give me a sense of camaraderie, as I watch our art collections grow. Thanks, Mindy!

  3. Wow, thats a lot of paintings! :P I often wish I could draw fast enough to make a drawing a week. Maybe I'll try a drawing a month instead.

  4. Thanks for commenting, Mary! I may not be able to reach the 52 paintings goal, but it will certainly encourage my presence in the studio on a more regular basis. We'll see what happens!
    Your drawing a month idea is a great one, considering your personal drawing pace. I feel it important to set realistic goals, otherwise we give up too easily and they backfire.
    Best wishes ~Eve
