I have a theory about "time to paint". People don't begin painting by renting space and designing a studio. It usually begins in their home in an off room behind a closed door. It becomes a sort of brother-in-law house guest. I believe that the next step is critical. It's not to the rented space but it is out of the room behind the door off the hall. Take your easel and your materials and place them in the corner of your den! Put them in a place where you can't avoid seeing the work in progress as you go about your daily business. You will be amazed at how many times the urge to stop and make it better will come over you. It might look tacky, it might be a child magnet. Your production will go up five fold. The next problem will be "c'mon Mom it looks fine", "ok just 5 more minutes."
