2012 was a very good year for me in the art department. One of my goals was to paint at least two paintings a month. I exceeded that one - so only a few of my paintings are represented here. Some of them were firsts for me - like painting the rainbarrel for the North Alabama Land Trust Auction. I also had my first show in October. Thanks to everyone that came out for the reception. I wanted to find a way to get my art out to folks that were not local to Huntsville and where looking for things besides an original painting. So I set up a site for folks to purchase prints of my paintings http://www.joanfunk.imagekind.com
And for notecards and other products with my art images I site up another site at http://www.zazzle.com/joanfunk
For 2013 there are many things I would like to do. And I've already started off with a bang- I ran a logo tournament to develop my logo which can be seen on my website and also on facebook. (Thanks to Tere Parsons of Magnolia Texas for the winning design).) There are several paintings in progress- one in oil, one in pastel and two in watercolor. Two of them have been hanging around for quite awhile but they will get finished with in the next month or so! I managed to paint in plein air for the last three months of 2012- a couple of times after dark which was challenging. So that's on my list for 2013 as well. As a member of the Dixie Girls Paint Challenge group I expect to get outside of my comfort zone on a fairly regular basis- with new themes or painting materials. All and all 2013 is setting up to be a year full of learning, painting, and fun. I'm hoping 2013 brings you what you are wishing for as well.
