In the past my studio time's been a hit and miss at best—I
haven't been terribly consistent in getting into my studio regularly, never
mind each day as I’d hoped for. I simply wasn't committed. So, I figured that
if I'm going to be serious about being a working artist, I'd better be
committed and I’d better get to work...and every day.

At the start of 2016 I decided that I'd create a project that would do just that—get me into the studio EVERY day to make some art. Daily art. One piece for each of the year’s 365 days. But I needed something doable, manageable. Something small. Something that I'd do and to which I’d stay committed. Art that could take me a few minutes or much longer depending on how much time I had in any given day. Art that can be simple or complex. Made in any medium. The solution came by way of my sketchbook. I could make small artwork in my sketchbook. Six 3"x3" squares on one page worked out great. One for each day. And it was very doable for sure.

The absolutely wonderful thing about this subject that I've discovered is that it's virtually unlimited. Circles are all around me—in my imagination and pretty much everywhere in my environment. It's astounding. Thankfully there's a wealth of ideas—I haven’t yet been at a loss for what to make. So far I've made over 90 artworks using various techniques: drawing, collaging, stamping, stenciling, rubbing and painting.

I'm very exciting and so very pleased that I’m committed to
my 365day journey to make art! Day #98 and counting:)
