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.

My name is Diana Luis, and I’m from the USA. I was deeply in love with a man, and even after he cheated on me, I still wanted him back. Unfortunately, he chose to stay with the other woman, which broke my heart. Six weeks later, I came across a post on a relationship forum about Dr. Peter, a powerful spell caster who helps people reunite with their lost love. Desperate for a second chance, I reached out to him on WhatsApp and shared my situation. To my amazement, within 48 hours, my man came back to me, full of regret. Now, we are happily together and planning our wedding! I can’t thank Dr. Peter enough for making this possible. If you’re struggling to get your ex back, I highly recommend his services.
