On Being a Mother and an Artist

On Being a Mother and an Artist

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.

If you need to recover cryptocurrency that has been lost to wallet hackers, internet scammers, or BTC transferred to the wrong address, I suggest Wizard James Recovery, a very trustworthy recovery organization. Just by sending my case to the Expert and supplying the necessary data, Wizard James Recovery was able to help me recover my Bitcoin. I’m glad I was able to recover this much after losing even more to the fraudulent broker I initially put my belief in. Errors are unavoidable, thus we can never be careful enough. If you have lost money to cryptocurrency scams, I strongly advise getting in touch with Wizard James Recovery.
