I WAS THINKING OF 2019 AND REAFFIRMED MY ART GOALS

When you climb the steps of a ladder (called rungs), you go higher than you were before. Now I was thinking how can I climb the steps and how much of it have I already climbed this year 2019? In art specifically? And here is my thoughts: A. Generally to improve my technical skills in art i.e. use of art materials, methods of painting and drawing, composition- just generally to have an attitude of improvement. B. Obviously to improve means one have to study again and/or experiment and this I am constantly busy with; and especially here the old masters techniques and methods and colors etc. One can learn from those who went before you... C. To develop that something extra / more or narrative something special about my art. This probably is the most difficult. D. To look and experiment with Tempera, Iconography, Oil paining master's methods and techniques as well as alternative Framing methods. E. How to make art to give me a reasonable income. Selling art via galleries, private and the web...it remains challenging. A gallery art representation? Quality sells... Yes you've got it - I am on my way in this!!!
