When I gave birth to my three children I created three masterpieces. They began with a thought, grew with care and nurturing, and survived through love and nourishment. They were born with effort and a sweet pain. As I raised my three children I realized that parenting is problem solving. It is envisioning, enforcing, disciplining, focusing, loving and letting go. Through the years I have raised three completely different people, yet three of the same. The same process occurs with painting. I create a painting from a thought or vision; I allow it to grow. I nurture it and then slowly, carefully and painfully try to create it. Once the painting has begun I do nothing but problem solving until I feel it is strong enough to let go and become what it is meant to be. |
