It's All About Beginnings

It's a brand new year and whether it is happy or not...well, we shall see, won't we?  In my specific instance it must be better.  Last year, (which is one I want to forget as soon as possible, please) was not stellar.  End of.


On the art front, in the midst of personal turmoil and upheaval I did manage to get one painting in a London exhibit.  Which believe me, was no mean feat!!!!!  And I am proud of myself for not giving up.  


I am soon going to finish "The Struggle", hopefully by the end of this month. And believe me, it has been a real struggle painting it, so the name is very apt.


I started painting the subject's face, finally, about three days ago. Something happens to me when a face starts to materialize.  It is nothing short of miraculous to see someone staring back at me from a blank piece of wood. And depending on who that person is and the circumstances surrounding that person are, I can get very emotional indeed.  


This time I just broke down and cried my eyes out.  Soooo much going on with this particular painting that I cannot begin to describe it.  And why would I want to anyway?  It is up to the viewer to make his/her own decisions about it.


I don't think I am going to enter it in any competitions (yet) as finances are holding me back.  BUT next year is always around the corner.


I am also very VERY much looking forward to getting back to my figurative series.  There are at least six paintings just waiting to be painted and I am anxious to start.  The only glitch is trying to figure out which one I want to paint first as so many are interesting.  


I think making a 2015 resolution is a bit silly but I will state that what I will strive to achieve this year is not only producing as many paintings as I can but to try not to go overboard emulating other artists.  It's not that I don't; it's just that I have to start giving myself a bit more credit for what I have achieved and will continue to achieve in the future.


I am taking your hand, New Year, perhaps hesitantly at first, but with hope that there will be more promise and good things to come.
