2013 is off to a fast start. At the moment I'm working on a commercial art commission, which will be completed by the end of January. The first two steps have been completed and I've got the call out to borrow subject matter for completion. Here's a preview:

While I wait to gather the remaining pieces and plan a trip to the art supply store I plan to keep myself busy with some sort of artistic project each day. Here is today's contribution:

Happy New Year!

I would like to extend my best wishes to all for a happy, healthy, peaceful and successful new year!

For me, the new year is a new beginning, a renewed sense of hope, purpose and determination. The first new opportunity of the year is an artistic one, which I am looking forward to with great enthusiasm. I have sent the first thumbnail creation for review along with notes on other ideas for the project.

Off The Track Designs (www.facebook.com/pages/Off-the-Track-Designs/243136935704665) will enjoy a bit more of my attention as well. The "Fox Box", bridle racks and hand-painted model horses are still available and I have a few new ideas up my sleeve. Stay tuned!

Cheers!
