I did this again in 2020 however missed 2021 (consistency isn’t my power).
What Went Effectively
Right here’s what went effectively throughout the 12 months:
- I produced much less work however of a better high quality. I appear to be taking longer to complete my work. I feel one purpose for that is that I’ve tightened up my method and given myself much less room for error. Another excuse is that have permits me to see so many extra choices to enhance the portray that I used to be naive to earlier than.
- We did household journeys to Kingfisher Bay and Noosa. These have been my favourite vacation places once I was a toddler. It’s good to see Elora expertise the identical childhood joys. Hopefully, she is going to get pleasure from fishing as effectively!

- We hung lots of my work round the home. We additionally developed an excellent relationship with an area framer and had a number of work framed.
- New posts: 18. My favourite is Susan Goddard: Recommendation on Watercolors and the Artwork Life. The feedback on this spotlight simply how sort and inspiring the artwork neighborhood is.
- New work: 21. Under are my favorites.
What Didn’t Go Effectively
- Hardly did any drawing. Time has been restricted and I’ve most well-liked brush and shade over pencil. However, if I need to hold enhancing in portray, I have to hold drawing.
- It was the 12 months of sickness. I’ve by no means been so continuously sick. I’ll chalk that as much as Elora’s first 12 months at daycare.
- Didn’t learn many new artwork books.
- Kobe nonetheless struggles with the steps.
