Taking time.
Full disclosure: I am terrible at taking time for myself. I prioritise kids, job, chores but leave myself last and it’s something I’ve done for a long time. It gets harder when you have kids and it takes real, concentrated effort. A few weeks ago, after a trip to Mr.Price for bargain canvas and paints, I began painting. You would think spending all my time on interiors, I would try a landscape or abstract but no, I wanted to paint an interior. Two of my favourite interior painters are SJ Axelby, https://sjaxelby.com/, and Roisin O’Farrell, https://roisinofarrell.com/, both with their own techniques and textural styles. So I had a go- it isn’t finished but in the end, I realised how relaxing it was to take time for myself.
