The little black dress and woman's suit

I'm back to a little sanity. I had been obsessing about my daughter as of late. And since watching her verbal and non verbal communication like a hawk this past week- I've concluded that while not perfect, all is fine and I can put things into perspective a bit. 
So back to thinking about journals, drawings and fashion. My aim is to keep things "light". And maybe you can help keep me on track. Art and I have a tricky relationship beginning from art school. I have an MFA from a local school and while it was amazing learning experience, it also left me with a love hate relationship with my art work. (I still have a love love relationship to art in general). Usually I can't start working in my studio without that voice coming in that says: "is this really worth doing", "will anyone take you seriously", "what if you are only a Sunday painter?"...
But since being out of the studio for about three years, focusing on being a mom and also turning 40 in there, my attitude has changed I think. Again I have got some perspective. Everything feels new again. And it is starting to actually be fun. Now the trick is to keep it that way.
