It's a new year, and I thought it was time to take stock before moving ahead.
I want to have goals for this year, but I'm not 100% clear on what they should be other than vagaries like "improve" - you know I like to be more focused than that ;)

So to help me define my goals I set up a thread called Peer Assessment asking other WAMPers to feed back on my strengths and weaknesses as a painter. Yes, it's a likely scary allowing people to have free reign on commenting, but I think it's worth it. So far everyone seems to be commenting very safely, but if you want to say something stronger - now's your opportunity!

One plan I do have for this year is to start taking commissions. I sold my work for the first time last year to raise money for Little Angels, and it was a strange experience. I wasn't sure anyone would want my work - but they did sell, and there were some really positive comments from some of the buyers.
It did make me think - why not? It might add a bit of variety to my painting, and taking briefs from clients will be a different approach for me. So I'm now on the Winterdyne Commission team: http://blog.winterdyne.co.uk/

As for the rest of my goals...I'll be looking at the comments from my review in another week and coming up with some actions. It should be an interesting year.
