New year's resolution...
...to complete things that I've started. I have an embarrassingly long list of unfinished projects. This is the year of completion. About four years ago I started painting my daughters' closet doors -- they wanted unicorns (naturally). The doors remained unfinished for four years, so to start the new year off right I resolved to finish that project first! I got some time off of work, so part of that time was set aside to finish those doors. Lily is working here with me on her own mermaid painting.
Each family member is represented here. Joan is teaching the girls how to fly, while Jack and I are flying in the background. Strict attention was paid to hair and eye color (well, sort of strict).
Finished and installed. Both girls were very happy. Speaking of happy -- happy new year to everybody! The last couple weeks have been too crazy with the holidays and with work to do any worthwhile posting. My apologies to anyone who checked back here and thought, what the heck is he doing anyway?? Where are the sketches? Here's to a new year full of new sketching opportunities -- and completion of old projects.

I loved your doors. Also the draws are great!

Oh I'm with you on the completion thing! Well the painting of the wardrobe doors was certainly symbolic - on many levels. They look great by the way!
What a wonderful idea, nice looking doors
Happy new year! I'll raise my glass to the completion of projects too!
Great doors -- i bet your girls love them.
no apologies for no posts, certainly understandable at the holidays when all time disappears! (not to mention how you manage it at all with job and kids!) happy new year to you too and to success with resolutions, your girls must be so tickled with the doors, how great to have a dad who draws, I'm the only one in my family with any interest in the arts, I'd have loved to have shared it with someone then as I do now via internet.
Happy New Years Anthony! I think this is a terrific resolution...in fact, its so good, how about you come to North Carolina and finish my unfinished projects as well??? I've got plenty of them.
Thanks Stela, Andrea, Mattias, France, Cindy and Suzanne for the comments and encouragement. And happy new year to you all. Ha, Suzanne -- thanks, but I've got enough of my OWN projects to finish! You gave me a good laugh with that comment :)
