January #1 - New Orleans

Happy New Year! Here is the first sketch of the year, a street in New Orleans. We went to southern Louisiana for Thanksgiving this past year and really enjoyed our time there.

In 2013, when I started to try and set aside time to draw in earnest, there was a total of 37 posts to this blog. In 2014 with the stresses of the job and life, that went down to 19. I was really unhappy with the state of things, and resolved for 2015 to make an effort to really prioritize personal art time, even if it was just 30 minutes to an hour.

For 2015, the number of posts I did jumped all of the way up to 109! My goal this year is to hit 150 - 200 if I can. I'm so much happier and whole as a person now. I know I have a long way to go, but thank you all so much for being supportive and helping me along with your views and kind words. Here's to another year where nothing will ever be the same again. <3
