Patience
Today I delivered and installed half a large window treatment job that I did to finance my art supplies (oil). My husband would have paid for them but I want to do it "my way". So, I have a nice progress payment in my pocket and want to go out immediately (tomorrow) and BUY. I've spent alot of time reading and planning and know that what I want isn't in town, I will have to order on the internet. I know that I need to wait, but I want to dive in tomorrow!
This kind of relates to Marvin's thread on planning ahead. I've read many posts that refer to the process of creating art. The time, organization, practice, and patience involved in learning the necessary skills. So, I'm sitting here typing at one o'clock in the morning to help talk myself out of just going out and buying the first thing I find that can be painted with. Trying to practice some of the lessons that I've learned so far. Patience, patience, patience, my new mantra for the next week or so.
