I think we have to do the things we love in order to be better people, so it seems selfish , but it's for the greater good.<br />Alison I shall look into finding the book I'd love to hear what other Mum's have to say on the matter, cause balancing the two is bloody hard, especially when they are still so little. I am keeping up the drawing and am enjoying it, even when it's bad.humble habithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957058996766153624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304882592239980241.post-10251994167988404502011-05-07T21:58:01.022+11:002011-05-07T21:58:01.022+11:00Wow, these are amazing.

I've been making some goals too. Some days I think I could tackle the world, other days I don't even think I can tackle the washing!monkeemoomoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384928241028245857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304882592239980241.post-73231422485718390622011-05-07T16:31:35.827+11:002011-05-07T16:31:35.827+11:00Have you read The Divided Heart by Rachel Power? A...Have you read The Divided Heart by Rachel Power? A book about art and motherhood, structured around interviews with Australian artists who are also mothers, and talking about the way their two passions (art, kids) feed into each other or collide or are mutually exclusive - depends very much on the individual of course. A fascinating read - and a reminder you (we) are not alone.Alison Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04492848177186327971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304882592239980241.post-40921608955713785892011-05-07T05:56:47.390+11:002011-05-07T05:56:47.390+11:00And the lanterns...I love where that could go...And the lanterns...I love where that could go...Tanya Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867118885094628168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304882592239980241.post-86242209388133554242011-05-07T05:55:52.176+11:002011-05-07T05:55:52.176+11:00It's a hard one.

But life rarely holds that sort of schedule for me even now the children are grown. So I snatch it where I can. Most of the artists I know have been late bloomers once they were able to "retire" from their real jobs and the great thing about them is that they are over the blah blah by that age too and just get to enjoy and let the galleries come to them. Definitely keep drawing because that can become rusty, a bit like singing really. I like the chair too because it looks quite bold and free and you achieved good perspective.Tanya Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867118885094628168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304882592239980241.post-11420252896685202512011-05-07T02:10:31.469+11:002011-05-07T02:10:31.469+11:00It can be so difficult to carve out the time for t...It can be so difficult to carve out the time for those sorts of things.
