My artwork can wait.....this is a HUGE sacrifice!

Images kept running through my brain; wonderful pictures but alas, I have not been able to put them on
canvas or paper.  'That can wait,' I told myself comfortingly.
Sometimes we cannot be thinking of ourselves only.  We need to give time to our loved ones and consider what is more important, in which case, I had to put my family first.
My hands had been 'twitching' to hold a pencil or a brush and I felt quite sad or a little disappointed that I was not able to do anything.  I had to paint what I saw in my brain first and even with that, I found much satisfaction.  I wonder if that is the same with other painters.........


Finally I get to paint the pictures I have sketched months ago.  Although they are not completed yet, I
am happy to see them coming into reality.  Sometimes after sketching, I fear my painting will not bring out the results I want.  Usually, I will boldly step into the next thing to do, provided I have the time.  Come what may, I will always try to be happy with the eventual artwork.  I got to like my own artworks before I can expect others to like them. I think.
