Getting Behind

All the above charcoal portraits were completed at the Literary Cafe. I recently started Instagram and neglected the upkeep of my blog, so here I am posting it all at once. Now, considering it's the end of the year, I have a few decisions to make considering this blog's direction and how I will separate it from other media. To post the same art in both places seems redundant. I hope to add a few more insights to this blog since that really is the purpose of a blog. Isn't it?

Today, I signed up to do thirty paintings in thirty days. I doubt I will have time to consistently paint every day for the next month, but I hope it will motivate me to set aside more creative time. Working full time, caring for an elderly parent, along with every day life, this challenge seems a bit impossible, but I'm going to see what happens. Maybe I'll try some abstraction in an attempt to loosen up my style, or focus on a specific goal or even a random one.  I feel a bit de ja vu being reminded of when I first started this blog. I have no idea of where it will lead - time will tell.
