millward studios fine art

my one year adventure!

Follow 'A YEAR IN THE LIFE', found on my original artblog, Millward Studios, and now chronicling the one year (2011) journey of this non business savvy, extremely shy, AAADD afflicted artist. There, I'll be recording my weekly progress using the guidelines, links and suggestions found on the weekly radio show 'Artists Helping Artists'. Applying the vast array of information found there, I hope to step outside the comfort zone of my cozy studio and explore the world. From each broadcast, I'll take notes, creating a list of weekly goals to apply to my own art endeavors. I look forward to seeing where these efforts will take me. How much growth can I achieve, artistically and personally? Can I increase my number of blog followers each week? Will my name recognition increase? Will I continue to grow my art sales, both online and locally? What successes will my January 2012 recap reveal? Drop in and start following my progress. I'll be sharing all the neat stuff I find.

WELCOME to my Daily Painters of Arizona artblog.

I'm a self taught, somewhat shy artist living in Tucson, Arizona. I'm also a retired florist, and a fledgling bass player. I'm married to my best friend, an amazing performing singer/guitarist and IBM geek. We have two grown kids and 10 grandchildren. I struggle daily with balancing family time with my music and painting studio time. I love them all, and wish the days were longer so I could fit it all in.

The purpose of this blog is simple.
To provide a showcase of sorts for my art and give a bit of insight into who I am, both as an artist, and a human being.

Until this year, my shyness kept me from showing any of my paintings to galleries or juried organizations. An invitation in late fall 2010 from Laurie Justus Pace to join The Daily Painters of Arizona and Contemporary Fine Art International(CFAI) has me thinking now might be a good time to shed some of that shyness.

So here I go!
All my art blog posts here will be linked to and featured on the Daily Painters of Arizona blog.
