Twenty Twenty-3!

Firstly, Compliments of the new year!!

I wanted to try something different this year that would help me achieve my goals, hold myself accountable, try something new and learn a whole lot along the way!

Thus, here we are! Call it a blog? or a newsletter? I don’t know. But the reason I call them condiments is because they are meant to add flavour to my work and provide a recap of what I have been up to. It’s a ketchup (Haha get it!?).

I didn’t physically (and by physically I mean with pen and paper) write down my goals this year like I did in 2022. But, I realized that my 2022 goals are coming into action right in 2023. So, I quickly jotted some on my note app on my phone (I’m not going to play myself!).

I’ve said a lot about goals but I haven’t mentioned what they are yet! I’ll quickly share one with you. I’ve given myself the challenge to explore or develop my artistic style by doing a self portrait every month. Thus, we have January below, I also needed a new profile picture for my social media’ so I think it worked out perfectly!

I feel like I should be wrapping this up but before I go I wanted to circle back to goals and say that keep at it and your hard work will pay off! And hopefully we have a great year!

With lots of love,

January’s self portrait.

I would say that there are 3 different styles within this portrait. Each one is in a different colour.
