New Year's Resolution

I'm making a New Year's resolution.  To post to my online art journal daily.  Ok, not daily but frequently and if all goes well, daily.  An ambitious resolution but not impossible.  Heck it might even fuel the creative fires.

On my mind today is Sol LeWitt and conceptual art.  It validates the "idea" which has been quite invalidated of late.  Ideas and concepts are the gateway to art.  Then one needs to experiment and produce to make it happen.  However because many of us conceptualize and have a hard time getting the reality aspect of art off the ground we tend to diminish the idea, the inception of the art form.  After reading about Sol's art walls at MASS MoCA I've gained renewed strength for my many ideas that have come and gone in the field of art.

In fact this "conceptual art" idea fueled my resolution to blog (or as I like to call it journal).  So, my hat is off to Sol LeWitt wherever you may be.  Here's to a year of creativity in 2009!
