I thought I would document my intentions for this blog now at the beginning of this whole thing, for two reasons: 1) to focus myself a little bit – this ‘becoming an artist’ thing is a little overwhelming to me, and 2) so that if you decide to read this blog, you know what to expect!
In fact I want to get some of this down permanently, before I let myself start playing around with the look and feel of my website and blog. Frankly, I’m more excited about that than I thought I would be. But, I’d better get started down the path of drawing and painting, or I’ll start careening off course into css-land.
Primarily, I want this blog is to document the steps I take towards becoming an artist:
1) drawings/paintings/art that I produce – My Art!
2) books that I read to help me along – Read!
3) shows that I go see – Visit!
4) materials I experiment with – Try!
5) web sites that help me out – Learn!
6) other artists who interest and inspire me – Look!
I also want to:
1) push myself out of my comfort zone,
2) keep myself accountable, and
3) help anyone else who wants the same thing, but is in the same place as me (hopeful, but clueless!)
