Obstacles Ahead

Obstacles Ahead


My 2025 Goal

I have chosen the theme ‘connectivity’ to explore this year with the hoped for end result being a number of paintings on the theme with a coherent visual language, but can I do it? I’ve failed many times in the past. 

In hopes of greater success this time around I’ve identified 5 challenges that I experience when working on a theme especially if the time span is as long as this one.  One example is ‘continuity and change’ from a few year ago. 

My Challenges

Based on these failures here are some of challenges I anticipate:

  1. Staying on Theme
  2. Developing a Coherent Visual Language
  3. Overcoming Creative Blocks and Deserts
  4. Not Being too Repetitive 
  5. Knowing When the Series Ends

I elaborate on all these challenges in the YouTube video below. Give it a watch and let me know what you think. I’d enjoy hearing about any ideas or methods you have for overcoming challenges like these.

I expect all of these challenges will occur during my 2025 art journey so please subscribe to me YouTube Channel or my E-News to keep tabs on me. Will I succeed this time or fail once again?
