Oh man I had a great week #InMyStudio this week! Working part-time and painting part-time isn't easy, that in-amongst being mom and life too! With also squeezing in fitness and being social (because I think given half a chance - I could quite easily be reclusive :-0). When winter hit for various reason - my routine went flying which meant my studio time was compromised. Although I've always loved routine especially when the girls were younger, I wouldn't say I am completely routine bound.
But about 18 Months ago I decided to pursue my art more seriously - like I would if it were my job or if I was training for a marathon. I started keeping bank hours #InMyStudio... whether it was sharpening pencils, tidying up, keeping my blog and website up to date or sorting my photos. I had to set time aside to paint.. I have been doing that for a year now and not only has it made me so incredibly happy but I've seen such growth in my journey.
Last week I managed to get on top of my workload and my ironing pile... So I knew my studio time was going to happen this week... I've also committed to getting up early to do #MorningPages and also to do a 20Minute painting challenge before life happens!
MorningPages to me is a lifestyle and I love that time! And the #20Minute Painting Challenge not only starts my day off with my paintbrush in my hand... but I can have a settled heart knowing that I've already painted today and I don't have to worry all day whether I am going to get any studio time!
And like anything we do in life if we want to be good at it - we need to train for it... so for me time in the seat is what it's all about! And it sure does help when you are also passionate about it!
