As the New Year races off I am trying to define my goals for the coming year. The number one goal, of course, is to continually work on improving my painting skills which is a lifelong endeavor. My second goal is to make my paintings more expressive which is in part a result of the first goal but also a function of selecting subject matter. I am drawn to rainy scenes, night scenes and figurative scenes which would explain why I am often not satisfied with my plein air paintings of rural morning landscapes! Sounds obvious, doesn't it? So my main practical goal is to be more selective in choosing my subject matter and more expressive and less literal in translating that image or scene to paper and canvas. Simple!

Hi Eden,
Thought I'd drop by your blog and must step up to the plate and compliment you on this little city scene. You have a great one here and hope to see more of your work in the coming year. All my best,
Brenda
