On Being a Mother and an Artist
Posted by Caroline Valpied on
Once upon a time I had a cute little studio/box room in our house. When our little baby came along, I kept it for a while, but when it was time for baby to have his own room I was shipped out to the garage to paint between the beer fridge and lawn mower (sob). Seriously though, I have tried so hard to keep going with my painting - even buying a nice big playpen to put next to my easel (see below!) because obviously baby was going to be absolutely fine playing next to me while I painted, not needing me at all...
It's really, really tricky to juggle motherhood and art. To be honest, the last thing I felt like doing in the sleep deprived first ten months (yes, ten!!) was putting paint to canvas. Even getting dressed felt like an effort. The best times I found to draw were when he was sleeping...but he has only just started sleeping in his cot (at 13 months). Before that I pushed the pram back and forth with one hand and drew with the other.
This blog is going to be about how I juggle my beloved little being and the relentless pull to create.

FAKE CRYPTO INVESTMENT RECOVERY, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY FOR HELP
After investing $7,300 in an online certification program I believed would boost my career, I soon realized I had been scammed. The company appeared legitimate, with a professional website, convincing sales tactics, and promises of job placement assistance. However, the certification held no real value, and complaints from other victims confirmed my worst fears.
Determined to recover my money, I found Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a firm specializing in fraud recovery. Though skeptical at first, their professionalism and expertise quickly put me at ease. They investigated the fraudulent company, gathered key evidence, and guided me through the entire recovery process. Thanks to their efforts, I successfully got my money back within weeks.
