Everyday and in everyway I am an Artist
My motivation is telling myself this mantra, that I believe I am an accomplished portrait artist already. I of course am only a beginner, but hey my negative mind is pretty strong, so I am fooling it into believing I am already there.
So far it has worked as my passion and dedication has grown immensely. I live and breath as an artist everyday now and am starting to get annoyed when I get disrupted. As a mother, up until now I have not had the luxury to be anything else but my son is a 14 year old now and he doesn't need me as much any more. There is just the two of us. I concentrated to being the best Mum to him till now but because his needs have changed, I have allowed my needs, for the first time to come into the picture. I have started to realise that I am starting to annoy him for the first time as I am becoming more aloof as my artist's mind is developing. Having the spare time to now develop as an artist is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. I certainly will be catching up with time lost.
