I’m struggling with my New Year’s resolutions, but I am determined to keep going with them. I’ve already figured out that I should not go online until I have completed them each day. This works well.

As to Art and Perception, please don’t give up art time for blog time.

In the painting studio, I draw, paint in oils, and paint in watercolors. I also blog with photographs I take so that perhaps counts as putting my mind's eye into a different viewpoint. But as my evening's loss of a fairly extensive post on perspective points up, I may have to give up on one of the above in order to do Art and Perception <snort> Karl,

When I switched from paint to linoleum, it opened up all kninds of new possibilities. And when, after that, I painted again, it was in new ways that I hadn't thought of before. adding a new medium might make it possible to solve a problem (or recover from a temporary loss of inspiration) more easily than could be done without that extra medium.

Why? I don't know. I guess the filter is big on New Year's resolutions. Good luck with your directions for 2007! David,

For example, a knot in a piece of rope may be very difficult to untangle in the real three-dimensional world, but theory tells us that if there were a fourth spatial dimension, the knot could be opened by simply pulling on the two ends of the rope. Chantal, your comment makes me think of this analogy: different media/artistic disciplines might be like spatial dimensions; adding a new medium might make it possible to solve a problem (or recover from a temporary loss of inspiration) more easily than could be done without that extra medium.

Not really goals, but directions. I don’t really do resolutions, but I do use the end of the year as an opportunity to look at what I’ve been doing and try to get a sense of where I want to go next.
