Working weekends and being a mother can just about make you want to drop where you are standing and not get up any more. I think the added thing on top of the physical hard work is that you have to remain calm so you are inspired. The minute you start to get that tight-at-the back-of-neck- frowny-feeling the drawings stop.
Is it a lesson in "letting-go" or holding on tightly and having everything going along to a highly sophisticated plan? ....a plan that involves a lot of last minute tweaking, and numerous unplanned addendum....and some hysterical hyperventilation style breathing.

You have my admiration for taking on work And mothering. Mothering is a full time job in itself. Love those poppies :^) I can feel the soft but prickly casings around the petals... the emerging colours...
Hi Shannon,
I absolutely LOVE the work you and Rebecca have in the library at the moment - brilliant work, wonderful collaboration, inspirational results - Congrats - Noela xoxoxox
Totally agree. Being relaxed really helps my creativity. And working, being a parent to a toddler and currently studying, I feel torn from my creative desires. Sometimes it is a lesson of letting go...for now, not forever. Still making 'art time' is just as important as everything else. Being an Artist is who we are...without it, part of our soul is dead (sorry a bit dramatic)
