New art newsletter for Januari 2018

I think it was April 2017 when I sent the last newsletter. Ridiculous ofcourse and there are no valid excuses for this. Not even a lack of time. Because a lack of time is a matter of priorities. But let's not look back too much.

This afternoon I sent out a new fresh newsletter!

With the following 'headlines':

• A look back at 2017 + my main goal for 2018
• Painting 'Soft skin' sold
• Why a new identity and new online portfolio?
• Work-in-progress on 8 new artworks
• Commissioned painted sliding doors for Airbnb location
• A unique gift just for you

You can subscribe there too, and receive updates on the latest developments regarding my art conveniently in your inbox each month. And if don't like it, unsubscribing is easy, :) 

And although I don't 'do' New Years resolutions, I plan to send one art newsletter each month from now on. As I planned, back in 2017, when I first set up the newsletter.

A look back at 2017 + my main goal for 2018

We are already 'on the road' for four days in 2018. But I still like to take a look back at 2017. What a year was 2017! I was in the fortunate circumstance to sell a fair amount of paintings. There were also a number of interesting commissions. And, as the proverbial ‘cherry on the cake’, I was selected for publication in of some nice art publications.

Highlights 2017

Let me show you some of my highlights of 2017, in chronological order;

Best wishes for 2018

I hope 2018 will be better, more beautiful and with more success for everyone! And all in good health ofcourse! Follow your passion and try to do things that matter to you as much as possible.

My main goal for 2018

One advice all the entrepreneurial guru's tend to give is to set goals. Small one and big ones. I have at least one goal for 2018: 

At least five of my artworks are shown in a reasonable gallery (not my own Mr. Upside gallery) during a period of more than two weeks.

I have my strategy to get me there already worked out, but if you have any thoughts how to reach that goal, please let know! Use the comments below or feel free to send me an e-mail.
