Finding time
Everyone has been so helpful on this forum that I am going to ask for suggestions on finding time to paint. I just read a post by Sandy Barnes who said she procrastinates because she feels all her work must be 'good' and therefore procrastinates at starting. Me too! Although I know that any time I spend painting is worthwhile because I am learning, I still want to paint a masterpiece everytime.
I have a corner in our 'computer room' where my easel is set up. I have two children (ages 6 and 11) who are in school all day, but there is still so much to do . . . other than paint.
I just wondered if anyone else has this problem, not finding time to paint is probably really more like 'being scared to paint' for me. What if it's not great? In my head I know it's okay to paint something not great, but apparently my heart hasn't learned that lesson yet.
I suppose it's just a confidence thing for me. I welcome any suggestions to get over this 'fear' of painting.
Happy Easter to all,
Joan
