goodbye oils, hello crayons..for now

so I will start with a hello. This blog has been up for a good while but I haven't the faintest idea of how to use it. Tonight I just decided that if I don't start typing I will never get it so here I am.

I imagine this blog will center around how I keep my artist soul fed while parenting 3 children from small to almost tall. Before they came I could paint until the light of dawn and fall asleep with out putting away all the brushes and such...that is no longer my life and while a few tears were shed as I adjusted to the new me (OK, maybe more), I have found that it is possible to be the artist you always were while parenting your small children even if you don't have a studio to paint in.
