Happy 2018!

I've spent a good part of the last two or three years ''finding myself'' as an artist, and while I still have a long road to go (which is not a bad thing; quite the opposite), I've decided that in order to have others believe in me, I first need to believe in myself, and truly own the identity of artist. 

As anyone who reads this blog knows, I already have a longstanding habit of putting out a post on a daily basis: sometimes just photographs, but often with some text of my own, or some borrowed poetry. Before I used this platform, I spent a few years on Blipfoto doing the same. And I will continue to post this blog as a daily exercise and as an outlet for my photography.

I am also launching a new blog, following the model of Blipfoto's 365 project. For 2018 I have set myself the challenge of painting every single day, as well as posting a painting/blog every single day. The painting that I post may not necessarily have been done on the day it is posted, but there will be 365 paintings done and 365 posted. To this end, I have set up an artist website which will grow and develop along with the project. If you are interested, please do have a look and follow along. The first blog post is up. Just click on 'blog' in the main menu at the top.

Thank you to the handful of readers who stop by here regularly. I have no means of replying directly to the comments that you leave, but I receive them immediately in emails, and I read and enjoy them all.

All the best to all of you for 2018.
