Life is seldom what we expect or desire. Often we get a "decoy" or representative of what we seek. Most of us set goals and dream. Without a dream there is little hope for the future. After I completed this painting it occurred to me that we often we set our goals and desires up on a base of pedestal - just out of reach. We need to be realistic when setting goals. They must be attainable and measurable.
A "decoy" may be easily purchased but to obtain a real bird takes planning, patients and a time frame to obtain it. You must also have the skills and knowledge required to accomplish the goal of catching or shooting a bird. I continue to build and develop my skills and knowledge in the area of painting. I am very pleased with the growth this painting exhibits. I may not be an award winning artists today but I have identified areas I need to grow in, made a list of art teachers whose instructions I would benefit from, and developed a written ten year plan to achieve my goal of being an award winning, and great, artists. I have just begun year three as artists. I look forward to 2020 and achieving my goals.
