I'm back! I took a wonderful two week vacation (but stayed home) and had a great time with my boys. We celebrated the holidays, saw tons of movies and spent a lot of wonderful time with family. I even read two books. I guess you could say I did everything but paint!
I have put together my "art goals" for 2010 and I would love your input!
Leslie Saeta Art Goals for 2010
- Develop a comprehensive art marketing plan for 2010.
- Continue to update my blog regularly and post at least four paintings per week.
- Form an Art Alliance with a small group of artists that want to develop marketing ideas, schedule a group show and share exhibition ideas.
- Create a year long jury/exhibition schedule. And follow it daily!
- Continue taking classes and workshops from artists I admire.
