☆ When plans are interrupted... [Friday Art]



This seems to be a reoccurring theme in my life lately, and maybe with three kids, a large extended family + a busy social life this is going to be my life now, at least for the foreseeable future and so maybe I should cut myself a bit of slack when the week goes a bit pear shaped and distractions pop up.

And this girl didn't help matters!


I have spent longer on her, than on some of my other paintings, she is not flowing + she is making me work for every inch of paint I put on her.



Maybe she is just one of these paintings, you know the ones that you have to struggle with every inch, which will be ok in the end, or maybe I was just distracted, by the very best of reasons!


The latest addition to our family, my beautiful Nephew 'Rosie' (this name is curtesy of Bean who was sure her aunt was having a girl), his brother + mama came for a short visit. So I have been enjoying lots of yummy snuggles with him + his brother.

Did you struggle with your creativity this week? Either finding time to do it, or because the creative flow was blocked? I would love to hear your stories.

So because of this, I didn't manage to get around to many of the Paint Party Fridayers last week, but I am still making the rounds! And I definitely will this week.

I also wanted to give a quick shout out to Jen from Aloquin, who has a really quick, but inspiring challenge - pop over here to find out about her challenge + expressing your creative voice. I am definitely going to join in!

  6. She definitely shows no signs of being a struggle. I love those long stripy stockinged legs! Congrats on the newest addition to your family, with so much going on in your life I'm surprised you find any time to create at all so what you do create is all the more amazing for that!

  11. Adorable baby "Rosie" lol such a cute story!! Your girl is gorgeous, she was worth the struggle. You have inspired a post about what I would have done different as a mom trying to handle it all!! Maybe next week!! Cut out the things that have less relevance...and schedule time for your art as though it's a doctors appointment you can't miss!! Give that little thing to yourself!! It's the key to happiness and fulfillment..

  12. I like your girl a lot -- her stockings are great! But I know what you mean about some pieces flowing and others becoming a struggle. Congratulations on your nephew.
