Not really. It is interesting to explore all the issues of working as a painter. I wondered if the inability to put in long hours was a distaste for the isolation.

However, demands of family and the other parts of our lives that require our time and attention certainly factor in. I wonder if is unique to women that our time is something that we often have to fight to protect?

When my father was ill and dying, I missed a LOT of painting time. Family always comes first for me and I certainly have no regrets about that.

When my children were small, I did not, could not, paint. I got a late start.
