Tiny Red Burst of Color
How do I fit it all in? Motivation I believe is the key for me. My time is precious to me and it is always difficult to manage. Being self employed is a hard thing to do. No one tells me what to do, where to do it or how long it should take me. I think being organized also helps but that has never been my strong suit. I always seem to bite off more than I can chew and being organized would help a lot I am sure, but it just isn't in my genetic make-up. I inherited my dad's genes. My mom is highly organized and like my dad I can spend more time looking for my paint brush sometimes than painting. I have to rely on my passion to keep me motivated and my pursuit to learning and growing as an artist. One of the reasons I made this challenge public is so that I had someone to answer to….. and that is all of you out there! My mother just had surgery this past weekend and I have been running to doctors, hospitals, labs, drug stores… you name it… all month……I have been doing it. I have been carrying sketch pads, pencils, etc in my back pack and drawing, painting everywhere I go where I have to sit in a waiting room. Every parking lot I scan for a leaf to draw. Today I found this tiny leaf in the parking lot and thought……."I have time for this leaf today for sure!" It was just the leaf I needed to do. It was simple, had character and of course great color. I am off to the hospital to see mom…… wonder what I will find this afternoon.
Thanks for the reminder that painting inspiration can be found anywhere you go.
Best wishes for your mother's rapid recovery!
Thanks Wren and Nava for your well wishes for my mom.
Speedy recovery to your mom.
