Today, I’m posting two images from my Reflections Calendars for comparison.
Here’e the January 2011 image.
Here’s the January 2012 image.
This is the time of year I look back at my work to see if I’ve grown. Then, I try to figure out how I can experiment and stretch myself with my new work. I’ve always had the philosophy that I want my work to consistently show improvement. I strive to make each piece better than the last. It’s not always possible to achieve that, and I may have reached a plateau in my work. But I will be striving to improve this year.
Happy New Year!

Have a blessed and wonderful New Year Tim!
Hi Sue, Thank you, and I wish you the best in the new year, too!
Tim
Wishing you life’s best in this New Year, Tim.
Hi Bonnie, Thank you – I hope it’s a great year for you, too!
Tim
I can’t say if the new picture is “better” but I can say that it looks more cheerful to me. I guess it’s because of the brighter colors.
Happy New Year! And I hope you won’t stress yourself by trying to get all things on your list done. Or if you do that it would be positive stress.
Hi Tina, Yes, I was thinking this year’s January image is more cheerful, and it was intentional on my part to do that. Maybe I can improve by the end of this year.
Thanks for the advice.
Tim
