This Blog documents my experiences ~ as I explore my new found talent and accomplish my goal to become a professional (and maybe even world known) Artist!
A quick search on Google led me to the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia (www.cacv.org).They have an adult art class starting on Aug 25th. - Acrylic on Canvas - 5 consecutive Thursdays. 7pm-9:30m, for 5 weeks.Cost $95 bucks!
I went to check out the art center/museum - see how far the drive would be and what the place looked like before I committed. While I was there, I checked out the latest exhibit…. And found it quite amazing. I marveled at the work of Jean-Pierre Roy.
It still took me two (or three) weeks to commit… but I did finally sign up!
My recent relocation to the East Coast, led me to realize that at 34, I have pretty much accomplished everything that I had “planned” and/or wanted.(That is, everything that I solely have control over - because being married one day is in the plan, but I need a willing participant to assist with that one.)As I ran through the check list in my head, I was left with two things to consider.Two hobbies… Billiards… and Art.(Both of which, by the way, I have day dreamed about being well known for.)
I figure, I’d tackle both sometime this year… At least, that’s what’s written in my Goals Journal - under the Hobbies/Extra Curricular category.Yes, I really have a Goals Journal.Well, actually I titled it a “Goals, Prayer, Wants, Needs Journal”.
Quoted from the Journal (written sometime in early July):
Art Class
For the past few years, maybe 5, I have thought about taking an art class.While I have the time and $ I’m going to do it now.ACTION - Find an art class.
