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.

After years of living with HSV-2 and trying various medications without success, I found real relief through a natural herbal remedy. Learning more about my condition and exploring alternative options made all the difference. I got support from World Rehabilitate Clinic — worth looking into.

Greetings to all, just because you had a poor outcome using spells doesn’t imply that everyone will have the same experience. I want to express my sincere thanks to Lord Meduza for assisting me in winning the lottery and for aiding me in my spiritual struggles. The spell that Lord Meduza prepared for me brought me to my current position. The lottery numbers he provided resulted in a $2 million Powerball win for me. Lord Meduza has supported me in a great deal spiritually, as I was aware of the spiritual assaults from my enemies. I am grateful to him for helping me restore significant balance in my life, and at this moment, I no longer face any spiritual attacks. It took Lord Meduza two weeks to complete my work but the key point is that I received what I deserved as the lottery winner of $2 million. If you need his help, he’s accessible via Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com OR Whats-App: +1 807 907 2687 or go to his Face-book Page: Lordmeduza
