Taking on The New Year

Last year, as far as years go, was pretty good. There were some hiccups along the way but I think, in general, the year went very positive.  

A lot happened in 2017.  Dad moved into a senior living facility and we moved to Phoenix to be closer. My plan is to be closer so I can take care of issues as they happen. 

We're still trying to get our stuff from St Thomas. That might take a while. 

The hurricane has kept us away from the island.  Our plans for spending time there are up in the air. 

A lot is happening in Phoenix and it's keeping me occupied.

In February last year I started writing this blog and I started creating drawings on my iPad.  That has really pleased me. The encouragement I get is amazing.

I am 10 pounds lighter than I was last year at this time. I have been going to the gym regularly since October.  I enjoy that and I feel much better for doing it. I hope to drop a ton or two this year. 

Art marketing is a tough nut to crack.  I'll continue to create digital as well as physical artworks.  

I want to learn how to generate an income from my work. There are bunches of options and there is so much that I don't understand.  It might help to try different things and see how they work. 

The business of selling and making a living with art is a tricky on.  I hope to tell you what works for me and what doesn't. Everybody is different and I hope to learn from people who know what they're doing.  (I don't know who that is though) 

Right now I'm taking some time to myself and let my hair down a little bit.  

I hope you make the new year your best year yet.  

I'm going to give it my best shot.
