I started painting full-time just recently and have no friends that are doing it, so, it was good for me to see there are others out there that struggle with trying to protect their time to paint. If I have a dreaded appointment some time during the week, I try to make that the day that I do other errands and if possible make up the painting time that evening, but that cuts into my computer work time, then I get behind on everything. <br />I love to paint outdoors, but like one of the other comments here, I end up spending so much of the day driving and looking for just the right place to stop and park, etc, that it really cuts into the painting time, causing me to hesitate to do it as often as I would like. I probably need to be less picky and just paint. How do you and your readers decide where to paint?Jacki Newellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622671701275410629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-31933399900620101182011-08-10T21:46:55.046-04:002011-08-10T21:46:55.046-04:00IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ARTIST, HERE IS THE SECRET.

However, in the past few days, I've gotten busy with orders (yay!) and haven't really had the time to waste. ..and I love it! I'm feeling much more productive, am learning a lot more, and my little business is moving along. This statement,"DO IT ALL DAY", is so true! That's how you're gonna get the most done!
