New Plan for a New Year

2013 brings a new focus to my professional life as a California artist, a “regionalist from Quaintsville”.

This is a commissioned pencil drawing of a Wilsonia cabin.

I’ve told you about the book I am drawing, writing and publishing – The Cabins of Wilsonia. 

You’ve seen drawings as they are completed and read my groanings as I wonder how I will ever finish the project.

Now, I have a plan.

 I will spend 2013 focusing solely on the book. No painting, no shows, no painting for future shows. 

(Okay, that’s not entirely true. I will paint for the 2 places that sell my work and I will paint commissions.)

I will also accept pencil commissions and teach drawing lessons. (This artist has no intention of starving!)

What does this mean for you, oh Gentle and Faithful Blog Reader?

It means that I will post to this blog 2-3 times a week instead of 5 days.

And, I will post to my new blog 2-3 times a week!

Yeppers, you can follow the progress on my book at dubya-dubya-dubya-dot-the-cabins-of-wilsonia-dot-com.

I’ve separated out this project from my regular blog for several business reasons, most of which you might find boring. And I NEVER want my blog to be b o r i n g.

So, here we go – a complete year of drawing! Can’t wait. Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE to draw? 😎

  1. Love your plan! I have several quilts that I have to finish this year as well. The only problem is for every quilt that I finish, I start a new one! And the others have to take a backseat. So, your plan sounds like a great one. (What do I do with the quilt I started last week?)

    • Nice to hear from you, Penny! And you finish the quilt you started, of course. 😎 How many do you expect to complete in one year?

  3. Happy New Year, Jana! Sounds like a good plan for 2013. Sometimes it takes almost laser-focus to bring projects to completion. My theme word for the year is finish so sounds like we are on the same wave-length. All the best to you this year!

  4. well… sometimes ya gotsa to do what ya gotsa do …you go girl!
