Take painting with two kids under three as a training to be UNSTOPPABLE, which you are if you want it enough. After that, noone is ever going to say I don't have enough time so that you would consider it serious. The only way to achieve the outcome of your thought manifesting in reality is to actually practice creating something step by step, even if the gorilla gets in your room.
There's a huge difference between the standard of living and the standard of life. While the first allows us to surround ourselves with plenty of pretty stuff, most of it stays hidden in the drawers, cupboards and garages. The second on the other hand is focusing on what can be perceived with all our senses.
My second child, Ekke, was born on 16th of July. Welcome, Cancerian Rainbow boy! There is so much in common between creating a human being and creating a painting. All is letting life come through. Isn't it strange how mothers/creators talk about birthpains and suffering (of an artist), but none focuses on the pains of the newborn. It must be a huge thing coming onto this planet. All the atmosphere changes to bare!
If you happen to visit Pärnu, the summer capital of Estonia,
and want to eat, you can enjoy wonderful organic food at Mahedik.
The café lies in the city centre, is popular among both locals and tourists,
and you can have food for the soul for free on walls while you're eating the real things. My paintings just made clement (hint to the name of the place) so intense.
