It’s that time of year.
When everything is brown outside (or white, depending on your weather), I start dreaming of all the flowers I’ll be seeing in a few months!!
I’ve been busy this week. Lots of doodling mostly. Just not a lot of scanning and/or photographing my work! It’s on my To Do list for the weekend.
Someone asked me a while back how I can work full-time and still have time to make art. Well, here are a few reasons:
- I have a wonderful husband who does his share around the house. He cooks 3 nights a week, I cook 3 nights a week and we go out on Saturdays. So that gives me back a lot of time not spent in the kitchen.
- I work at home so I don’t have a long commute. It takes less than 10 seconds to get from work to home. If I run, probably 2 seconds. But I don’t run in the house much!
- I don’t have any kids at home. My daughter is 30 now, so it’s been a while since I’ve had to carpool, do homework, extra laundry, etc. Just the cats and the dog. But they don’t need a lot of one on one attention. Some. Just not a lot.
Happy Paint Party Friday!
Great flower. I am already looking forward to springtime and it isn't even February.
ReplyDeleteLove your colourful flower! Good that you find so much time to be creative! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty, dreamy flower, and I like the background work, too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty flower. Love it. I also work full time from home but I have children who selfishly distract me from my art! :)
ReplyDeleteYour art and your life style are delightful. Thanks for sharing both!!!!
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I am looking forward to Spring and prettier days and longer days, in regards to sunlight! Can't wait for daylight savings! Speaking of pretty, your dream flower is very pretty. Red is one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteCarla's class starts shortly, (yikes)...I am looking forward to it...hoping I can improve - while I create! Have a wonderful weekend.
Like I'm dreaming of flowers, too. I love to garden!
ReplyDeleteI like your flower and the beautiful circles in the background - very beautiful.
Very bright and pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention you MAKE time for art!! Beautiful art I might add!! So many people even when they have time sabotage it with other things!! Sometimes you even have to shut out the world to get things done!! That's not a bad thing either!! Great post!!

ReplyDeletegorgeous painting! Oh I too am dying for Spring and the wonderful flowers and greenery. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeletebeautiful flower even if it is not standing up straight.
ReplyDeleteNice flower. Love your painting. I love spring too. I have a few snow drops in my back yard already. Can't wait to have more.
ReplyDeleteYour flower is bursting with life. It's great that your husband pitches in. My husband is something of a saint but he does sometimes complain if I leave paint splotched all over the kitchen. I am not very good at clearing up. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteWonderful flower. I too have a husband who helps out as much as he can even though he is disabled. We are so lucky
