Short-term goal: survive the end of the school year and its accompanying meetings and paperwork. Very little art can be done during this time.

Medium-range goal: work like a dog over the summer on portrait samples and other ideas. Also enter more competitions (I have my list on my desk, with all the deadlines). Work out a routine for daily drawing practice.

Long term: that's a quandary. I would love to be able to cut back on my school hours but am afraid to, since commissions are just beginning and I need every dollar with my son entering a college dorm next year. Continue drawing and painting, looking for commissions and entering competitions. Really long-term is retirement and full-time painting, which, unfortunately, is a long way away.

Michelle, I admire your business acumen. Just thought I would give a contrasting, low-end sample of goal-setting.
