Why start 2009 with a whimper when you can begin with a bang? Create your vision and make it happen.

LOVE this book! It reveals so much about the early American art market. Halpert was a true pioneer.

Hi Alyson,
Thank you for all your inspiring ideas! I enjoy your podcasts very much.
One of my intentions for 2009 is to get more people to visit my website to see my artwork. I've come up with an idea. It is a weekly, printable To Do List that can be downloaded from my blog weekly. Each week's page has a column for listing things to accomplish that week, a calendar for the week with space to write in appointments or deadlines, an inspirational quote and picture of one of my horse paintings (of course!)
I'm spreading the word about the To Do List via my blog, newsletter and Facebook and Linked In groups.
The link to the first To Do List is up on my blog at www.karenbrenner.com/blog.html

Your links are not coming up for me in the post and it asked me to let you know ;-)

Had to copy/paste your address into my browser, but it was certainly worth doing! Excellent idea, Karen. A great way to get organized with a new twist!

Excellent question, Alyson. I've decided to learn more about technology. Admittedly not my favorite thing, I can see that knowing how to use the internet for a variety of things will do alot toward helping me expand both my business and my horizons.

Karen: To get more people to visit your site, be sure to put http:// in front of your links. :) Can't wait to see your list!
Mary: Fixed
Patricia: Be bold!

I've already got myself with4 short lists of goals (a list for art/creative, a list for career, a list for family, and a list for culture/entertainment) - they all have some sort of overlap too, which means they are all interconnected - a great way to realize that life and art can't be compartmentalized.
I'm really excited about starting the new year, and decided to not even wait with the old one finishing. THe nice thing is I'm starting the year off with a show opening on Friday. :) Exciting!
