To quote Michael Buble in his remake of the song "Feeling Good"...
"It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me and I'm feeling good!"
I am so excited about what this year will bring! And I'm so curious! What will I create, what products will I experiment with, what might inspire me? Who will I meet?... and I'm pretty sure I will meet some of my blogging friends early in the year! How exciting is that!? (It has to do with the project I hinted at here). All of these things are somewhere in the future and I am so excited to find out what is in store for me in 2011.
On this first day of the new year I want to thank all of you who have decided to follow my blog and who check in regularly, even if I don't know you are taking a peak! And thank you so much to those who have taken a minute to leave a comment... and bother to type out that annoying word verification! I appreciate your interest in my art. The response I have received since I started this blog is a huge factor in my motivation to grow and learn and improve. Heck, I want to impress you! ;o)
I hope that you are excited about the possibilities of a new year. If you haven't gotten to that mindset yet, consider this quote:
"We are about as happy as we make up our minds to be."
-Abraham Lincoln
Happy 2011!

Hi Don,
Thank you, I'm happy with how this drawing turned out. It's done from one of my favorite photos of him. I, too, look forward to continued communications with you. Here's to a great year!

Hi Sheila,
It is so great to see your picture in the comments again! Hmmm, interesting analysis... it's possible you didn't spend all those years as a police officer for nothin'. But time will tell... I could be teasing with this comment!
Happy 2011 to you!
Nicki

pure joy and creative delights.

Hi Nicki - re that quote, I am an awkwards so-and-so! A few nights ago, I made up my mind to have more fun this year by seeing the fun in things and situations - and woke up the next morning with a fit of The Glooms!!!! Didn't last long though so no harm done.
I've really enjoyed seeing how your wonderful work has evolved this year and wish you health, happiness and success in 2011. I'm sure you'll go from strength to strength!
I just found your blog - really like your work, lookfing forward to seeing more.
Hi Barbara,
Thank you and yes, here is to a great year! I raise my virtual glass to you and wish you wonderful things for the months ahead.

Hi Judy,
I'm glad your glooms didn't last long! Those days are bound to happen, but I hope your new year has way more happy days than bad ones!
Nicki
