2018 promises to be my year in art. I've been studying new mediums for the past 2 yrs. Being able to finally put everything into practice is very exciting! I'm by no means perfected at all but I'm having a blast just teaching myself and exploring new techniques. I've set up some art goal for myself. One is to keep learning. Stop being a perfectionist lol. And work on my channel often. Have you set any art goal for 2018?

I wanted to do a special and unique post for my birthday. So since I'm 37, I've decided to make a list of 37 life lessons I've learned so far.

So since I've been in an artistic rut most of the year, I learned about this event through a friend and she convinced me to take part. Though the main medium used will be ink by most, in the creator's video he does state to use whatever tools you have at your disposal. So I'll be using watercolors with some light inking. Today's word is: SWIFT. I have about 3 really great ideas but I think I finally narrowed it down to one. If you're interested, check out this his video with the full list of daily inspirations: 

Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't been feeling very artistic in many months. I wanted to try some traditional artwork but wow is it super expensive! My tablet stopped working once windows 10 came out for whatever stupid reason and I have been unable to use it since. I constantly have to keep unplugging it or resetting my laptop and after a while, that's just completely frustrating to do repeatedly. I've seen you guy's beautiful work! And congrats to all of you who received DD's! So proud of you My depression hasn't gotten much better, though I will say I'm definitely not feeling suicidal anymore. Though my son's autism is very frustrating to deal with and has pretty much made me a hermit, there wouldn't be anyone with my level of patience to ever take care of him the way I do. He still thinks I'm the best mom. He turned 12 in June. I was able to get him a Minecraft lego set, pizza and a birthday cake shaped like a basketball. He was very, very happy, which also made me happy. He's out of school for the summer so it's been tough getting any time to myself so I'm feeling very smothered, lol. Anyways, I'll check in with you guys again very soon for birthday!

So I've decided to go back to writing. My depression is making is very difficult to concentrate long on digital art which I completely can't stand because I miss doing artwork so much. I don't know what it is So a friend suggested that maybe I go back to writing. I've always enjoyed Haiku so that will be my new thing. For those not familiar with Haiku, they are poems consisting of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. They will usually be related to the natural world. They can be emotional and can even be funny. Anyways I hope that I get the support from my current watchers. I just feel like I need to do something different. I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Can't wait to see you guys' artwork for 2017!
