Sharon asked me today to share some about how I paint with a 3 yr-old running around. Well, I don't. : ) From the beginning I have painted only when he naps and (knock on wood) he still sleeps 2-3 hours/day. It's actually the perfect amount of time to do a small painting every day. I've also hired a sitter to come 2 days a week so I can do larger paintings for galleries. And ... sometimes I paint on the weekends when my husband can watch Jacob. In some ways I think I'm more productive now than before Jacob - since now there's no excuse - when it's time to paint, it's time to paint.

You are such an amazing example of 'just doing it'.
Thank you.
Ah ha! I was wondering the same thing as Sharon. My son only naps for an hour during the day and it looks like he's starting to not need a nap at all anymore. Which is why I don't paint every day...yet.
You amaze me at what you are able to accomplish each day! Paint, photograph & post your work online, market your work and be a stay-at-home mom. Whew!
I think I'm also way more productive now than I was before I had Aspen - I know that when I have time to paint, I HAVE to paint - no procrastinating!!! I have the same schedule (2 days a week + naps), and it's actually amazing how much I can get done in that amount of time!
Found you while visiting Jeff Mahorney's blog. Wow, you guys are just sooooooooo good, it makes me ill :-)
Fantastic work. I have so far to go and although work like yours makes my journey seem even longer, I also feel more inclined to make the journey having seen what can be achieved. Love it!
Hey Carol, Austin is where Stevie Ray Vaughan comes from isn't it? Must be a town full of talent :-)
