I was very busy in 2011. In fact, I would say it was one of my busiest and most "well-rounded" years. It started with drawing sessions in Louisville from January through April, one of the results you see here in my painting of the gypsy. As I compare them now, of course, I can see all kinds of things that are not accurate. After all, art is NOT a photograph. But still, I have such "a good eye"-- you'd think I could have done a little better.
Lots of bucket list stuff done.
• my 50th HS Reunion,
• every-other-saturday drawing classes in Louisville from January
through March;
• a week-long workshop in Kilmarnock, VA with a master artist I
really, really like;
• finding an old HS classmate that had been "lost" for 45 years;
• finding out I could lose 35 pounds all by myself;
• going to New York just to see plays and eat well . . . with two very
good friends;
• going to Dublin, London, and Edinburgh with Gary;
• participating in Art of the Carolinas by myself;
• hosting Thanksgiving Dinner for my family;
• making art at least once-a-week with my old friend;
• having at least monthly lunches with interesting women . . .
Pretty neat stuff . . .
