I send an image of each of my paintings as soon as I finish to a dear friend as a structure to help keep me creating in my studio. She fell in love with "Winter Solstice" and "had to have it", purchasing it before I could get it on the website. How fun!
It's ironic. All my life I dreamed of "someday I will have time to have fun/play/do what I really want" though I never could put my finger on what that would look like. Now that I have discovered creating art and interpreting beauty is what I was looking for, I sometimes have trouble getting myself into my studio. Hard to believe that balancing my checkbook or doing the dishes will get done before my art. Checking in with my friend when I finish a painting - and now checking in with you! - is a gentle nudge to get me in my studio.
Do you ever struggle to make a priority those activities that make your heart sing? How do you make sure they stay at the top of your list?
