Day 3. It's Time.

Ah, the new year approaches.  A time to make resolutions for self-improvement that include never overeating again; always matching your socks up so you're not consistently wearing two different colors; getting up at 6 a.m. each day instead of staying up until 1 a.m.  Um, yeah. I gave up making such irrational vows some time ago.  However, when you "know" you're ready to spin your life in a new direction, I've never thought you needed a particular "date" to do it.  I think you feel within yourself, coursing through your veins, a voice that tells you, "It's time."

Day 1 Merry Christmas to me."No I Didn't Eat It."

I decided to give myself a Christmas gift...an early New Year's Day resolution, if you will.  It's a promise to make a drawing or a painting a day for one year.  Uh huh.  I'm doin' it baby.  There's been lots of 365 day projects.  I first one I had heard about was in 2007 with Noah Scalin making a skull a day.  See his website here,  http://skulladay.blogspot.com/p/about.html, for more information.  He made a book about it, "Skulls," which is out-of-print, but available at amazon here:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1600593755?ie=UTF8&tag=skuaday-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1600593755



Anyway, Day 1 for me (Christmas Day) was this little ditty--"No, I Didn't Eat It."  Seemed perfect for all those Christmas treats that somehow find their way into our mouths.


Off we go!
