This is a collection of my learning in doing the 100 days project.  I worked on these pieces in conjunction with the small exercises and was able to apply a lot of the experimentation and learning.  I tied them with theme and color palette, with nature and orange in every piece.

 

Coincidently, I have visited friends there many times this year, so I got familiar with their permanent and rotating art.  I have always admired the art at this hospital.  It took a few years to gather the confidence and courage to finally contact them.   6 months of communication and work, and now you can see the result  for about 3 months.  

A big goal for this year checked off.  It really is true that the more you do something the easier it gets.  It sure helped that I didn't have to do the installation of this show.  The hospital staff did a good job.  

I am still figuring out what exactly I want to do with my art, but I am doing something I truly enjoy (the painting part), something that scares me (the showing part).  It is a mixture of feelings at once, feeling vulnerable yet confident, feeling fear and peace, learning and re-learning. 

But as I may have shared it before, "there is no growing in the comfort zone, and no comfort in the growing zone"
