So much learning

This has been quite the year for learning and growing and because its always good to reflect, I am going to list what I've learned and done over the year - what I've pushed for and what I've accomplished - this way I know what I am capable off, good for someone like me who often forgets especially when bogged down, or dealing with depressive weather. 
August 2015 - August 2016

1. Taught university courses in another language - Spanish 
2. Devised and created curriculum 
3. Headed a project with an NGO 
4. Helped to edit a cook book 
5. Created 25 mid to large sized oil paintings 
6. Researched the lives, techniques, and styles of many artists 
7. Lived and worked in another country 
8. Gotten my driver's licence 
9. Painted a couple of smaller murals 
10. Taken university courses in advanced anatomy and art history in Spanish 
11. Changed a diaper 
12. Packed and transported paintings over continents 
13. Cooked for larger groups of people 
14. Translated papers and recipes from English to Spanish 
15. Written and illustrated a book 
16. Gotten packages ready for publishers (have been kindly declined twice already - with recommendations to keep writing and sending out :) 
17. Further developed my painting techniques 
18. Consulted on interior design work 
19. Participated in Karaoke - one of my greatest fears 
20. Given a few seminars to mid to large groups 

So far, so good.

​Now, its about working to live and also keeping the art up - at least for a couple of years until I can further break into the arts and let it take on more time
