Things have been crazy. We adopted a little boy and I have left work to be on parental leave with 3 kids ages 5, 3 and 1. To say my day is busy is an under statement. Painting has been pushed out of my radar for the past month as we adjust. I have given up hope of getting into that art show now that life has changed. I do want to paint but I'm not going to put that much pressure on myself right now.
The problem is, I am exhausted by the evening and painting is the last thing on my mind most nights. I knew I'd just have to suck it up and do it. Kind of like going to the gym--you force yourself and you feel good once you do it.
Our neighbour asked me to paint her daughter Alyssa's letters to match her bedding. So tonight I was in the mood to paint and just did it. I'm glad I did.
