I am in the middle of something big. I just finished painting my 52 Diva Series which took me 7 years to complete. My first exhibit will be in Lancaster, PA (where I used to live) in October. I am currently seeking a place to exhibit in San Jose, Costa Rica. The paintings were created in Costa Rica, where I have lived for the past 23 years.

In reply to Kesha Bruce.

Great move Kesha-is that a solo show of your work?-or are you connecting with other artists? I’ve been a artist with lots of energy towards outside-nobody can sit and wait-that’s not our business…..
Great and congrats again……

[…] for me. All of this pastel and charcoal dust has to amount to something! So I’ve decided to Commit to Something Big ! “Big ideas motivate us to take action, and each action builds momentum toward a larger […]

Hi Alyson,
I’ve read and commented on your blog since way before you wrote your book, but I was using a nickname. I’ve recently committed to coming out of the blog closet and connecting my blog to my professional website. Tonight was my first blog post that connects to it and I owe a lot of that gumption to your words of wisdom.
A few days prior to that big leap for me, I ordered your book and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. Several days before that I attended a wonderful Networking Day at the Women’s Caucus for Art in my area and thought of you. I’m thinking you’d be a great workshop speaker in our Washington, DC area….
I’ve thanked you many times, but it’s never too often. Although, I’ve worked at my art professionally and full time for the past 7 1/2 yrs, I’ve only recently been able to make the time for those next steps, due to life, not personal motivation. (You should hear how often I quote you or the discussions here to my husband. He knows you as my artbiz coach. :).
W/ appreciation,
Lynne Eve Grossman

I started reading your blog recently and have come back a lot to browse. I absolutely agree with this idea of committing to something big. It’s really how I get mostly everything done. I committed to starting a small art blog this year and to posting once a week. With two small kids I thought I would never be able to make it happen but, I have. Once I realized that people were actually reading, I feel that my commitment is worth it. I haven’t missed a week since January. Next goal might be to post more than once a week!

Hello Alyson,
I wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you for the years of encouragement and advice. My inbox if full of Feedblitz emails of things I need to do. I don’t delete them until they are done.
One thing I have done recently thanks to you is joined facebook and created a fan page (Zartwerks).
As to committing to something big I started something on my own a month ago. After 2 years working on a major renovation on the house /gallery/ studio and only working on paid commissions my painting stock/inventory had run dangerously low. In January I committed to a solo show at a very large venue in May so something BIG had to be done. So I decided to challenge myself and paint 100 painting in 100 days.
It was great to read your article on” Something Big” It has encouraged me to push past the half way point and keep pushing towards the finish.
