Erika, you are one of the most engaged teachers on YT and Patreon! This video came at a perfect time. I was just journaling some goals for 2025. In general they are: 1. Write more poetry (haiku and tanka) with a goal for each day. Start submitting poems weekly. 2. Develop my own style of Line and Wash botanicals to pair with my poems and post daily on Instagram.

Renee, thanks so much for your kindness. 💚 Your words mean the world. Thanks so much, as well, for watching and for taking the time to share your goals! I so admire your ability to both write and paint, and your determination to continue with both long-term. Amazing!

My issue is have so many ideas & have learned to learn the basic skills so can put a full painting together! These days try to paint a bit each day or sketch and know my limitations on doing full piece at this moment. Each of us are very unique and will show up in your paintings!

Thanks so much for watching and leaving your valuable thoughts. 🙌 You're doing awesome and, ultimately, what's most important, is consistency. I sooo get the feeling of having too many ideas you'd like to work on, to the point of feeling overwhelmed and scattered, though! I created a video a while back in which I share practical strategies that have helped me "sort" through these ideas. Here it is, in case you'd like to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZynqIKelrysrK8 Happy painting! 🖌
