Happy New Year 2016

Well, here we are again.  The beginning of another new year.  I love New Year's Day.  It's a time of moving beyond the past and reflecting on the possibilities of a whole new set of 365 days.  I don't make resolutions, but I do set goals.  This year, I'm going to focus on what I feel I do best and add new skills.  I highly recommend the book "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.  I don't know these gentlemen, but their book has really resonated with me.

I'm certainly looking forward to shorter shadows.  BRRRRR.

This little 5" x 7" watercolor is currently available on my Etsy site, whimrab.

Out with the Old - In with the New

New Year's Eve - The clock ticks toward the end of another year.  I've always loved the process of making lists...not the doing of lists, but the making of lists.  I love to imagine how things would be if I actually did the things on those lists.  Need to work on that.  The first two bullet points are always the same....get out of debt and lose ____ pounds.  I need some sub-bullet points of how I plan to make those happen.  This year, point 3 is to start creating and posting archival prints on my Etsy site.  Sub-bullet is to paint new images weekly and re-list on Etsy at least daily.  I'm hopeful that this year I will be adding silk-screened products to the site.  You can visit my Etsy store by clicking on the Etsy grid on the right sidebar.

As I reflect on 2011, I'm so amazed at and thankful for the threads of friendship, family, and well being that make up my tapestry of life.  I wish you all the same for the new year.  

2011 - Year of the Rabbit

Happy New Year! December kind of flew right by...like it does every year. With the new year comes renewed energy for projects. It seems like the perfect spot to make a new start on all the goals I didn't accomplish in the past year... or the year before that. This is the Chinese year of the rabbit. I have a feeling this is going to be a great year for the Whimsical Rabbit. I've already concocted several new artistic endeavors to pursue. Never mind that I won't make a dime from them or have no time to carry them out. It's the scheming that fuels my zest for the creative life.
