Hello Sweet '16

Watercolor florals example

Greetings from the FIRST Monday of the year! I love a new beginning - a chance to start new projects and set new goals.Choosing a word that can gently sit beside you all year long is another pretty great thing as well.  I don't usually share my word but this year is different. I want to share the word that will guide me to this time next year.

E X P L O R E

Websters defines it:

• to look at (something) in a careful way to learn more about it : to study or analyze (something)
• to talk or think about (something) in a thoughtful and detailed way
• to learn about (something) by trying it

My deepest intentions this year are rooted in exploration. There you have it!

Also, I see the new year is full of good things just waiting to unfold. For me it's all about spending more time with my art, my routine and ideas and my students.  We have a great selection of workshops and classes at artstream - and right now we are setting up our online classroom for the new workshops and classes 24/7 for YOU! Where ever you live, what ever your schedule these classes are available to you to access. Registration opens on Saturday January 9th.
