Moleskine Monday - My Full Potential


I think potential means a chance for positive growth.  I hope that one day I can make a living solely off of my artwork.  I have a few goals I set for myself this year.  Even if I don't get them accomplished at least I know that I'm moving in the right direction.


1.  I plan to work as many craft fairs this summer as I can.  
2.  Submit at least two projects a month to magazines to be published.
3.  Sponsor a blog to make connections and grow my blog.
4.  Complete one large painting a month for a family member. (I have been telling them for years I would paint something but never came through).
5.  Oh, and get business cards!

Do you have any art goals this year?


I completed this silhouette a while back but never shared it.  At first, I thought my drawing of the figure was not that great but the more I played in the paint the more I liked the shape.  
It's the imperfections that make it much more engaging. 

I got my first feature in Somerset Apprentice Magazine this month!  
Please check it out!  It's on display until 5.31.14!

    I really like this painting. The goals you set for yourself seems to come from the heart that I see as a deep red in you image.

    And thank you for commenting on my blog as well :) It meens a lot!

    Wow nice goals. I am so with you. I am a struggling photographer who would love to make a living off photography. I have some goals that I hope will help me get there soon. I started them and it takes a lot of time and effort. I like to think on the positive side.

    Beautiful work, Danielle. I see a face in the body. Was that intentional? You seem like you have a clear vision of where you want to go. That is one of the most important things in succeeding, I think. Your paintings are so pretty and I know you will finish up all those goals you have in mind.

    A wonderful silhouette, and I like the inner you painted in red that is striving to reach that full potential.
