Time in the studio

My inspiration and urge to create is about to explode in my chest right now. As I suddenly have huge amounts of time devoted to this, I get more stressed about aaaaall the things I want to do. And anyone who’s ever immersed themselves in creativity of some sort knows that time - flies. I drop the kids off to school, blink, and all of a sudden I’m late picking them up. I had such grand plans of taking long inspiring autumn walks and making myself very healthy smoothies throughout the day but as soon as I pick up my brushes from the washroom and turn on some music time just warps.  

I’m sure that eventually the studio won’t feel like a playground every day and that painting will become a chore that has to be done. But see - making art has been a secret luxury for me for so long. It’s been time stolen from something else and having unlimited amounts of it makes me feel like a kid in a chocolate store. I NEED to taste every. Single. Piece. In. Here.

Another thing I’m noticing; The lack of time I’m used to was the perfect playground for work made with ease. Quick strokes and perfect imperfections that I love so much but with the extra time - I’m noticing a tendency to overwork. This may mean that my work will evolve but I’d rather be looking for ways to stay careless I think. If you have any ideas on this I’d love to hear them!
