Beginners.

Happy New Year! 2024 began with me being surrounded by my family and friends. We played silly games, strategy games, and trivia games long into the night until it was time to bring in the new year. This December was spent at home with my family. My kids get two weeks off of school so we were able to pack a lot of fun things and relaxing days into those two weeks. It was just what we needed. Oh, and we got our son a drum set so it wasn’t a quiet Christmas.

With school back in session it’s quiet here now. A bit too quiet. It has given me a chance to make some goals for the year and reflect on what I accomplished last year.

It’s the beginning of a new year and in many ways I am still very much a beginner artist. Ira Glass said this about beginners:

I find myself in this stage, fighting my way through. Some days it’s easier than others to put in the effort, but with consistency it will pay off and that gap will become narrower.

So, to all of use who are beginners, I feel you. I know what it’s like. Let do the work and see where it takes us. Happy New Year!

Here’s some work that I’ve put in the past month.
