Celebrating 100 days of making art!
by Jill Austen on 04/10/15
The 365 Series has already been an amazing journey. In those early days of January the number 100 seemed unimaginable and the commitment often seemed unrealistic, but here we are.
1. I want to thank the numerous people who have offered support in so many ways. Truly you help keep me inspired.
2. I anticipated that the 365 Series would be a wide-ranging artistic experiment, but even I am surprised by what shows up on the paper some days!
3. I work faster now, meaning, I make artistic decisions and solve artistic puzzles more quickly and confidently.
4. I have learned to really trust the process, and give up the need to completely control the outcome. Each piece has a story, and I need to allow that story to come through. I am just the facilitator.
5. Research, study and observation is a much bigger component to art making than most people realize.
6. Art makes me happy! Cheers to the next 265 days!
