Alyson,
This is such an awesome post!! My dear mother raised me on the saying “Actions speak louder than words”.
The post was a great reminder of what we all should strive to achieve.
Thank you!

Timely message for me during this summer season. “Commit to Studio Time” – is a message I need to be reminded of often. I’m finally getting back to the studio more and more after having found lots of excuses during late June and July as to why I shouldn’t/couldn’t be there. Thanks!

Great post, Alyson. I am trying really hard to maintain a consistent studio practice, so I put my weekly painting schedule in my calendar so I don’t add appointments when I should be working. I have started using that dreaded word “NO” when faced with a new time stealer. I feel guilty for a second or two, then get over it and get back to work. Now that I have a studio outside my home, and go to it 5-6 days a week, my output has more than doubled.
Thank you for all that you do.

I think walk the talk by supporting local artists. I am lucky that I live in Los Angeles, there is a big pool of talent over here.

Alyson, thank you for the great links to your notes and for all the resources you share to help us artists stay on track and make the most of time, energy and inspiration. I haven’t taken the time to say it before but want you to know how much your blog and insights have meant to me.
A big big THANK YOU!
