Contemplating My Next Goal

Anne-Marie, winning art pieces; see 9/7/11 for closeups

     Exhibiting in the Spencer Fair is a goal to look forward to, and now that it is over I need to formulate what my next step is.  Of course I will plan to  exhibit again next year, unless, of course, I become professional.  Usually in the fall I think of what art class to take and I pour over the Worcester Art Museum course catalog.  I know that at this time I cannot attend classes at The Woodstock School of Art because my work schedule does not allow the time to do this, which is unfortunate for me.
     When I think of all the techniques I have learned from so many wonderful artists, I start to think that I don't need to learn anything new, I just need to practice and perfect what I have learned.  When I realize that in order to take a class I have reserved three hours in the evening to do this, then I am now thinking to take that same three hours and use it to practice and create my own art.  I need to make an appointment with myself for my own class, then I need to make to time to do my own homework, also.  This will be such a challenge for me!
      Whatever I do, and whatever process I take, I will share it in this blog, because, after all, this is all about my reinvention to create my own art.  I will now be challenged with time management, and fighting my own resistance!  I hope that I am inspiring someone to create art, or to take a class at the Worcester Art Museum, or The Woodstock School of Art, or anywhere close to you.  Classes are starting now.  Or, if you just want to create, just set aside one day for art.  Please let me know what you are doing in a comment. Thank you!
