2016 First Work

Inspiration - mixed media 12 x 16 on canvas

It's a new year and one of my goals in my art this year, as well as my life in general, is to push myself out of my usual comfort zones. 

This piece definitely does that. I don't have much experience painting in acrylic and boy, does it feel different than my usual watercolours LOL. But it is definitely something I want to do more of this year.

The other change, besides working on canvas, is the size. At 12 x 16 inches it's considerably larger than anything I've done in wc in quite some time. I still have another this size as well as two 16 x 20 canvases just waiting to be used. I'm working my way up to art that's measured in feet! 

This piece is also meant to serve as a daily reminder to me of where I want my focus to be as I head out to begin my day. Sometimes I forget that.
