Beginnings and Promises
by Sharon Gates on 2/23/2010 11:33:53 AM
My husband and I watched the movie "Julie and Julia" the other night. Now I am inspired and motivated to begin this blog that I've been putting off for a while - well, months, actually. I vowed I would be as open and honest in my blog as Julie was in hers. So I have some promises to you, my readers:
First of all, I promise to share techniques, methods, and materials as I create new artwork and talk about those I've used for past pieces. I will let you know what worked for me, what didn't, and why.
I will keep information to the point and relevant to you, whether artist, art collector, or a curious "wannabe". I don't have all day to read blog posts, no matter how informative, and I know you don't either.
I promise that I will be open, honest, and transparent (this does not mean, however, you will hear about my latest surgical procedure or recovery from a head cold). Folks need to know that artists are REAL people. I don't walk around with a smock, beret, and long cigarette holder and neither does any other artist I know. We're working folk just like you.
I promise to be informative and entertaining. There are 23 years worth of information stored in this teacher's brain and a theatre background as well, so hopefully you will return often to see what I've been up to and what I've got in store for you.
STAY TUNED! I'll be doing some plein air painting on warmer days (yes, I'm a fair weather painter I'm afraid), including a trip to the north Georgia mountains with some painting pals. I'll also talk about each Thursday's art class activities.

See you soon!
