2020 - A New Year and a New Decade Full of Artistic Possibilites

It's January 3, 2020 and I'm sitting here in my Kauai art studio thinking of the possibilities for my art and studio for the upcoming year and decade.  Just looking around, I see that my studio could sure use some clean up and reorganizing.  I guess after 13 years in the same art studio, one sure does collect a lot of art supplies and junk.  But, hey, you never know if that junk will turn into a piece of art, right?  So bit by bit, I will work on getting things spruced up and organized.

"Go bigger and better" is another goal of mine with my art.  I am finally at the stage in my art career where I need to focus more on my painting quality.  I have quite a few ideas lined up and can't wait to find a little more studio time to make things happen.  I just finished this one at the tail end of 2019:
Orchid Tree Flower Original Watercolor
Joe surprised me for Christmas with my first DSLR camera (digital single lens reflex), and I am excited to learn how to use it and experiment with some better photography.  Up until now I was just using a "point and shoot" camera to take all of my reference photos for my paintings.  I already took out about five books from the library on the subject to learn how to use it in manual mode instead of auto mode.  I even purchased a few filters for my lenses.  Plus, my good friend, Georgia, gave me a really nice, heavy duty tripod. (I wonder if she knew about Joe's surprise in advance?)  We hope to take it to the beach and get some good shots of the whales this whale season.

Plus, that new camera may play an important role in another goal of mine to produce some high quality art videos.  I finally have the equipment to make some nice art demo videos, so all I need now is some quiet time in the studio.  Who knows?  I may even get back into doing online classes again.

Another goal of mine is to continue to add more images and products to my "print on demand" sites.  My clients sure love to add a Hawaiian or tropical flair to their home decor using my images.  Here are some new images and products that have been recently added:

 Cutting Board

 Pillow Shams

Tote Bag

All of the above are available at 


 Notebook

 Framed Print

Tapestry

All of the above are available at:


Whew!   I am already getting tired just thinking about all of these wonderful projects for the upcoming year and decade.  Plus, I will be continuing to teach art classes at my studio, so if you are on Kauai this year, please stop in and say, "Aloha"!

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou,
