Welcome to the
Juxtaposition of Color blog. I hope, over the next year, to contribute my share of good will, curious anecdotes, links to web sites that I have found interesting and artwork of my own and others. To begin the year, please look at, buy for yourself and another as a gift the book "
The Faith Between Us" by Peter Bebergal and Scott Korb.
Resolutions... Last year's went pretty well. Two of five didn't get accomplished, but being more patient with those I love is always a struggle and reading for 15 minutes a day, which seems like an easy thing to do, wasn't. 2007 was full of running. I ran and ran and ran and ran! This year, I'll begin with
running 20 miles a week (that's a bit more than I am currently running, but down from my September numbers) and see where I go from there.
I will maintain my well earned weight, and not lose any more. From January 1, 2007 to January 1, 2008, I lost 40 pounds, just by running and being conscious of my diet.
I will continue to draw one portrait, every day, until June 19, and then I will reflect upon the 365 portraits and consider what to fill my next year with beginning June 20 (my birthday) and I will post my favorite from that week here.
I will create 1 large scale work of art every 2 months. Drawings, paintings, whatever vein I choose, I will set a goal of 6 new, major works this year. Last year it all got done in a one month spurt, and I need to get to the studio more often. Of course,
more patience with those I love, I will not take them for granted.
That's five resolutions. Five is a good number.
I look forward to a great 2008, and I wish you well and God's blessings.
