Accomplishments...

Every year, as reminded by Alyson B.Stanfield, I write a list of my art-related accomplishments... Because it is so easy to concentrate on the things that I have NOT done...! It's important to recognise the things that WERE accomplished... So, here they are..!

In 2010 I...

-held 3 competitions on Facebook to gather more fans,
-got over 500 new fans,
-gave a talk about my art,
-gave myself the challenge of creating 100 paintings in 100 days,
-started to make jewelry featuring my art,
-made 2 art donations,
-participated in the Art Fair 2010 in the RDS, Dublin,
-visited the British Museum and the special exhibition of Da Vinci drawings,
-joined "Killarney Arts", a sub group of the Killarney town council,
-got on stage for the first time with Dochàs Drama Group,
-became secretary of Dochàs Drama Group,
-had 2 (successful!) solo exhibitions,
-got in 3 new galleries,
-participated in a craft fair where I started to sell my art jewelry,
-wrote 109 blog posts, (well, outside of the 100 paintings there is only about 15...)
-created ~162 paintings, (including 100 mini ones..)
-sold ~68 paintings,
-got contacted by a TV program to do a piece on me, (more details to come about that one!)
-started mini-prints of my work,
-completed 3 commissions,
-got into 3 group exhibitions, including one in Paris,

Well, 2010 is nearly history...! Take a minute to think of the things you HAVE accomplished this year... No matter how small!

Enjoy the celebrations... See you next year!

Number 100 - Christmas...Finally!, 3"x3"

WOOOOHHHOOOOOO!!!!! 100 paintings done!! Wow, it was such a challenge, with ups and downs and little hickups along the way, done in a period where I was very busy with one of my best friend's wedding, preparing for an Art fair in Dublin, an exhibition in Killarney, visitors from Canada, and the Christmas preparations!! But overall I am glad I did it, and thank you so much for your support and all the lovely comments you left over the 100 days...

I wish you all a beautiful, peaceful and colourful Christmas, un beau et Joyeux Noël à vous tous...!

So here is my 100th and final painting:

I'm back... with Number 84 - Close-Up, 3"x3"

I am back... after a (too) long pause in my challenge... I had members of my family visiting me from Canada for a few days and although I had the best intentions in the world, I did not keep up with my daily paintings. I also completed a large commission on the days leading up to their visit... Well, enough excuses, What I can do now is do my best to catch up and complete as many of the 100 paintings for Christmas...! For this reason they will be refered to as "Number X" instead of "Day X", to be more exact...! So there you go, here is number 84, "Close-Up"
