The art of balance and the balance in art. It’s a spiritual ritual. My Yin and Yang.

Okay you cannot exactly shower with me, but you CAN have a piece of me in your shower. 🙂 I am now offering some of my artwork on shower curtains. My entire collection will not be offered, but I have some ranging from fun and whimsical to beautiful patterns that I am creating by re-purposing original art into new pieces. These are so much FUN!
I sold my first two last night. 🙂
While I am busy working on new bathroom delights, enjoy this nice collection available here:

So jump in! Get wet! Sing if you like. My artwork will be happy to join you. 🙂

I always know when I am not leading a balanced life. My OCD kicks in and I start to obsess about things like Twitter, Pinterest and Fine Art America. I check my phone for updates too much and I stare at my computer screen a lot more than is healthy. My art is my passion and I create for the joy of discovery, but I also run a full-time business. My duties include but are not limited to: painting, photography, data entry, marketing, public affairs, inventory, custodial, packaging, bookkeeping and customer service. Whenever I hear a 9 to 5er complaining about overtime, I just chuckle to myself. Most people do not know what true overtime is! But today I am taking a break. After I finish a few of my daily tasks, I am going to take care of “me”. Mani Pedi here I come!

It can be difficult to find balance in your life when you have so many demands pulling you in different directions. Family, friends, work, health, etc. all need a place. I create and list a lot of work and many have asked me things like “Do you sleep?” I get 8 hours a night. I also market my work heavily and some have wondered how on earth I do it. With experience, I have become extremely efficient at marketing. I am also pretty handy with the camera and scanner. I do most things quickly….I always have. Patience is not one of my virtues! I not only run a thriving successful art business, I also grow an organic garden, care for my daughter, care for animals and cook/prepare 95% of my own meals (Celiac). I shop for my family, clean house and exercise every single day. I go to dinner parties, family gatherings and art shows. I play Scrabble. I do not have extra hours in the day. I am just big on balance and scheduling. I do not allow myself to get distracted in web surfing or reading endless posts on Facebook. I stay focused. I have time slots for my work and I stick to them. This ensures I have time for what is important in life. I eat on a schedule too. By keeping all that I do in priority when I am working on them or experiencing them, I never run out of time. If I am at the park with my family, that is what I am doing and thinking about….not work. If I am working, that is my focus. Some things you cannot help coming into your life to throw you off, but I have found that MOST of what keeps us from using our time wisely is useless. How many cat memes have your read? How many political posts? Farmville? Tweets about what you had for lunch? Do you sit on the toilet and get lost in a magazine? Do you watch T.V.? I don’t. That is how I do it…I do not waste time, so that I have plenty of it for everything I want in life!
