Contract Time

Presidents' Day 2013
24x12 Acrylic 
$225

Contracts may not stir up good vibes, but to really see something through to the end, we often do better when we bind ourselves into a contract.
CONTRACT
I, ___________, understand that I am undertaking an intensive, guided encounter with my own creativity. I commit myself to the twelve-week duration of the course. I, ___________, commit to weekly reading, daily morning pages, a weekly artist day, and the fulfillment of each week's tasks. 

I, __________, further understand that this course will raise issues and emotions for me to deal with. I, ____________, commit myself to excellent self-care--adequate sleep, diet, exercise, and pampering--for the duration of the course.

Now, not to scare you off, but this is for your betterment. I think we will all see some great improvement in our inner child artist as we go through the next few weeks together. See previous posts for more information.

Day 30 - Painting Challenge Finale

Tucker
6x6" oil on Raymar portrait panel

This is my finale to the 30 days of painting horses! I guess painting one subject that long has a way of driving you mad! I wanted a change and so I turned to the next subject I want to explore. 
Portraiture can be a real challenge, but I plan on doing more of children and even famous people, like presidents (who are long since passed away and can't sue me). HA!
Don't forget to sign up for my email posts so you can get your creativity flowing more in the next few weeks. I will be posting the steps on Facebook, as well. 
I want to see more people become the creative individuals they were meant to become! (So I'll have someone who understands me better!)
