What kind of an artist do I want to be?

Following on from my mid-year review, it appears I need to think about what kind of an artist do I want to be? That is such a hard question. Is it something I should be asking at this early stage? Should I know when there is so much to explore? And yet, often people I meet ask me what kind of art do I do, or what do I paint - so I gather it is a very important question. However, I don't really want to do the same type of art for the rest of my life, I would like to grow and change styles or subjects. Tricky. Also room for improvement, which I wholeheartedly agree with, is getting up to date with current art practice. Going to London in a week's time should help with this, but if I say here, that I commit to start with trawling through museum websites as advised and promise to blog this weekly perhaps that will help. My flatmate once told me that if you promise to do something, you are more likely to do it, so okay, I promise to blog weekly on this. Here are my paintings from my mid-year review - some more successful than others it would appear! :) I really want to paint with tempera next semester so I promise that too, that I will experiment with that starting from day 1. Hope you are happy and well if you are reading this and that you have a fabulous New Year!
