Balancing Act



Painting on deck for 20 hr week challenge. The mountains disappeared..Too white for the camera and then clouds rolled in...
I have been participating in the 20 hr painting challenge this past 2 weeks. It has been fun as well as seeing how much actual painting time I do every week.
I do know that I have a major "life stuff" interference coming up this week...my son's wedding, so the studio is clean and there won't be any painting being done.
We women artists often have "life stuff" that we deal with in addition to our art business. I take care of the books for my husband's business, our personal finances, and my art business in addition to running the house. When my children were at home I took care of their needs as well. Balance, time management, and priorities are the keys to being able to create my art. Balancing my commitments is also crucial to my happiness.
There will always be "life stuff" that has to interrupt our well-laid plans. Not feeling guilty and moving on, while understanding that this will only enrich our life experience and therefore influence our art, will keep our lives vibrant.
So....try the balancing act!
