I really need to start doing art shows regularly, mostly for the morale of those that see's the potential in my making artwork.
Fortunately, the notes on my art during my brief peak last year and critical things I should identify in my newer pieces are starting feel more specific, which is really motivating me to trust my rhythm and spontaneity.
I think I can do much better work this year, now that I'm a little more organized and experienced.
Even if I can't, being able to do 1 or 2 impactful works this year, and having an intuition for what communicates well, will be a promising moment of truth for me.
