Thank you Alyson for another inspiring post and everyone else for sharing their goals.
I’ve just collapsed into bed after a long day at the office and an evening spent updating Twitter, Facebook and blogs, sending invitations to Private View, emailing collaborators about timber sizes and projector cradles… All those little things that get in the way of the big stuff.
So tomorrow I’m abandoning all but the most essential things for the exhibition opening next week, which I’ll get finished super-quickly so that I can make a start on one of the biggies. At last.
Love the elephant Jackie.

Wow, this is so true. I’d been feeling really stuck in a rut with the little things when the chance to work on a big project came in and energized me. It was another teapot that I hadn’t been planning on making, but the first one this year went over well and I was invited to make another for the Fall half of the exhibition. It really sparked my imagination and having a deadline helped a lot too. The big projects this past year have really inspired me while my smaller projects seem to more ebb and flow. It’s really nice to get fully immersed in things sometimes.

Hi Ellie,
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm for my painting. I loved painting the colours and textures – it was what spoke to me about the elephant so I’m very happy to have passed that on to you too.

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the comment; I’m very glad you like my painting. My studio’s open by appointment so you’re welcome to come and see the elephant painting (and others) in the flesh. Contact me through my website to arrange a suitable time.

P.S. Good luck with your new plans, Alyson. I’m so grateful for having been able to take part in one of your Art Biz Blast Off groups, I’m still in orbit 🙂
