It is difficult to work all day and also find time to do art. My experience is I do my painting when I am rested and my mind is clear. The best time for me is the morning. I create my art early in the morning. I was visiting with my friend the pie maker and talking about my art work and I explained that I may work on 3 or 4 pieces at the same time. While I was explaining this to her I also realized that I had been quite productive in creating art work this month. The more inspired I am by the subject matter the more I want to paint.
Even thought I create 3 or 4 pieces at a time the art does not look at all the same because I approach each piece from a different vantage point. For example, I started working a year ago focusing on just one rose or two rose buds now I am working on a vase full of roses. This is growth but how did the growth occur. First of all I never mastered the one rose, but I did improve at it. I wanted to try larger paper so I kept the roses the same size and just made more on the page. I also realized that I need to work in stages to give the paint time to dry that is another reason why I work on multiple pieces at a time. These simple discoveries about art are important to discovering who I am as an artist.
