What are your creative intentions?

Have you decided what you would like the creative aspect 2012 to look like yet? I mine will going to fit into a single word. (What is with all this one-word resolution stuff?!)

I have a list of creative goals a mile long and the only thing these items have in common are create and joy.

My broadest goal is to pursue (acrylic) painting in a big way. I am beginning this with a study of color following Leslie Masters teachings. She has a terrific workbook that my mother (an oil painter) has found helpful. The book, How to Paint a Rainbow, encompasses watercolor, acrylic and oils.

Her approach is to begin with a limited palette until you are comfortable mixing your only mostly pure colors. So far, so good. I am just getting into the mixing portion of the program. More to come.
