STYLE, my word for 2012

With the start of a new year comes new ambitions, aspirations and dreams ... thus after reading about people choosing a word for the year I too chose a word :


After really committing myself to painting and finding that I do have some talent for it (not to mention loving it), I want to find MY style.


So this word has been a big topic for me but, "What is Style?"



In all honesty I'm not sure exactly how to define it in terms of art


It seems that it can be cute and quaint


Style Can be LOUD


Or subtle enough to keep your lips sealed 


It might even make you ponder

We could probably talk about it all day


But I'm chomping at the bit


Before it slips between my fingers


I need to get a grip, find my true artistic self


So before the year is over I can say:
I GOT STYLE!



I am really working on stretching myself and identifying what is in my heart and soul that needs to get out. I'm   starting to read "The Artist's Way" and am also taking a couple of classes this year ... I feel very strongly that this is the year I define/grow artistically and never again put this part of my life on the back burner.  Woot-Woot for 2012 and for Style!

What are YOUR plans for the coming year? Do you have a word?
