Looking Back and Forward:"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>I have been setting up my shiny new bullet journal for the new year. Taking time to reflect on the last year and what one would like to do more of in the new year is something everyone should do, regardless of their stance on resolutions. So before setting up calendars and collections pages for the new journal I flipped through the pages of last year&#8217;s journal looking at what worked and didn&#8217;t, what I would like to do more of or do differently. Below is a summary of my progress and my art goals for 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"617\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.onelifefineart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bullet_journal.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.onelifefineart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bullet_journal.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/blog.onelifefineart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bullet_journal-300x289.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Transitioning journals for the new year is a perfect time to revisit my art goals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"100 rejections (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.onelifefineart.com\/?p=185\" target=\"_blank\">100 rejections<\/a><\/span>: 2018 was such a busy year that I just needed a bit of a slowdown in 2019, and so I resolved that based on a historical 16 &#8211; 17% acceptance rate, I would apply for 42 opportunities, estimating 6 acceptances. I actually only got 38 applications submitted however my acceptance rate improved to 21% in 2019. Based on those numbers and a goal of 12 projects for 2020, I&#8217;ll be aiming for 58 proposals this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Studio Work<\/span>: 26 paintings in 2019. The majority of my work this year revolved around showing the Canada West and Currency paintings, as well as the creation and distribution of the Sunflower Project paintings. For 2020 I will be working on building a community and supports for the Sunflower Project, as well as 24 new Sunflower Seed paintings. I will also be continuing with the creation of five new Canada West paintings which explore some of Canada&#8217;s early immigrant experience. In the past few years, perhaps as a result of my weight loss journey, I have developed an affinity for painting food! So I will be working on 10 new Canadiana food paintings in the first months of this new year. Finally, I love the energy of Rumble House&#8217;s live art events, and the challenge of thinking (painting) on my feet as it were, so I have resolved to attend more Rumble House this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul
