Y’all, I did something that even shocks me! I finished a painting from so long ago that I am not even sure when I started it.
My finished watercolor painting – Mamarazzi. It took me far longer than 6 weeks to even touch my art table after I had my first child. I am pretty proud of just making time for something I enjoy doing – just carving out me time is a milestone.
The painting sat in this state for quite some time. I was hesitant to finish the reflection in the glasses, not sure how to proceed, it collected dust on my art table for months and months.
I do know that I was working on it in February of 2013, which is when this photo was taken to help me with the hand pose. I can see stacks of boxes in the background, so I know we were preparing for our cross-country move at that time.
I have a slew of other projects just waiting to be finished. That is why this quote appealed to me so much – though I would have to add to it, ‘projects I was meaning to finish.’ This is my last week before going back to work and I have much to do – consisting mostly of soaking up time with my little ones.
