- Get up in the morning at a reasonable time. I'm not at all a morning person and my hours tend to become more and more bizarre over the course of large projects. So I'm going to attempt to drag myself out of bed earlier than usual and get on a more 'normal' schedule.
- Get some regular exercise every day. I was doing pretty well with this until the holidays and then fell off the wagon and have yet to jump back on...
- Gain about seven pounds or so. That's right. I said gain.
- Art-wise, I'm still trying not to over-work paintings, painting too thickly and what-not. And trying to loosen up a bit.
So far, the first twelve days of 2009 find me failing miserably at the first three resolutions and showing spotty results with the fourth. But it's early still, plenty of time to right myself...
And I'm really late posting these pictures. These were taken on the side of the highway on my husband's drive to work:
Decorating this particular copse of trees along the 360 appears to be an annual tradition here in Austin.
Well, it's back to work for me now. A belated Happy Holidays to all!

I found that a great tool for gaining weight is to keep snacks in the studio, and drink juice instead of water (since Juice has calories and water does not). For snacks, I like yogurt and frosted mini wheats, and crackers with cheese or peanut butter. Snack once an hour and you should be good to go!
Hope those projects are going well!
