I was planning on starting the year off by challenging myself to paint 30 of these little ones in 30 days, but I decided against it.

Challenges are good for something to do when things are quiet or if you’re going through an artist block. It can get the ball rolling again.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized I don’t need to challenge myself to paint or draw more. Being creative is who I am deep down inside, and that’s all the motivation I’ll ever need.

There are many other things I could challenge myself with that would be extremely difficult to pull off for 30 days – such as not creating art every day. OMgosh, my brain isn’t reacting well to that crazy thought. hahaha What would I do with myself if I wasn’t creating??? Ack!!! Not going to think about it, and skip merrily back to my drawing table. la la la

Playing in theaters now! See my artwork in a new movie – The Whale starring Brendan Fraser.

I’ve been busy slashing prices in my eBay store and on Etsy. Some artwork I have marked down to only $10 or $15. I’m trying to clear out older paintings, so I have room for the new ones.

As always, if you want to say hello or have any questions you can write me here. I love getting email, and hearing from you.

Other places to find me online.
