The Balance
Hmmmm... The Balance! It is hard to find balance when you are passionate about your work!!! For me, my kids bring me back to earth per say...  Although, my kids love my art, and that special place where I go to create, Nat my 8 year old often gives each work its name, and Iza is my critique! She is awesome at seeing things... She swears she can not draw, but she has the eye for it, so I know she will to someday create like I do. She does however paint with words far beyond her years! Maybe having my kids involved in my work and loving the process is why I can stay in that place and not miss the outside world! Although I always loved that place even as a kid!
Now a days that place is filled with fanciful characters that tell awesome stories of another paradigm, which makes it even more fun to go there! I find myself there even when I am not in my workspace! hehehe
I don't know how to find that balance either! For most people their work is such a drudgery, that they do anything to get a way from it, but for the artist it is a passion and a joy we don't want to leave that special place! I find when I am in that place, my mind shuts down and the NOW is so ever present, so maybe the rest of the world needs to find their way to where we are? Theres a thought for you! Maybe balance is learning to be in that place all the time and letting the world into that place where we are? I don't know just free floating thoughties! LOL!
Oh yes what fun, my faeries on Ice! Now that would be fun!
