Works on Paper: The 365 Series - Reflections on the Year Gone By



1. My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone for all the kind words, encouragement and support!

- over 100 works found new homes

- they are scattered over 16 states and 5 countries outside the US

- the highest per capita concentration from The 365 Series can be found in a small Colorado mountain town: 1 painting for every 60 residents.

2. I went through over $600 worth of watercolor paper alone, and I estimate about $1500 in additional supplies.

- Each work in the series took between 5 and 6 hours to complete, for a total of over 2000 hours in the studio.

3. Countless additional hours were spent researching, analyzing and studying.I've discovered some wonderful new artists and techniques, in all mediums.

- My biggest surprise was watercolor. Once one learns to "get out of the way and let flow", it's a very uninhibited process.

4. Something I've always known was reinforced with this project and bears repeating: There are no shortcuts... at least not to any place that's worth going.

- I first heard that years ago from my piccolo teacher, John Krell.

5. Remember, the remaining works in The 365 Series are still for sale. Visit my website to see the complete series: www.jillausten.com

6. What's next, you ask? Islands! I am planning a series of residencies, both formal and informal - more information to follow.

- First stop, The Bahamas.
