In the spirit of Derek Sivers’ “now page”, here is a list of things I’m currently doing my best to focus my attention on.

  • Keep up with some sort of artistic activity

    I haven’t done much with ink or watercolors, but I have been working at making some paper collages. In February of 2025, I did a month-long series of collages with the “Februllage” prompts. Some were good, and some were okay. However, I had a lot of fun. This year I’m going to keep up with making collages and dip into sketching when I can.

    There’s also a new-ish Urban Sketchers group here in Pittsburgh, and I’d like to begin attending some of their events.

  • Learn to paint with acrylics

    I’ve worked with watercolor paints for almost 15 years, but I have yet to work much with acrylic (or oil) paints. I’m beginning to experiment with acrylics when I find the time. I ended up getting a lot of my late grandmother’s paints and I hope I can put them to good use.
