At the time, being a new mother, it was almost impossible to find time to do artwork, so my only creative outlet was to make quick sketches of my son whenever he would take a little catnap. I know it sounds strange, but doing these sketches made me feel a little better about myself, because at the time I honestly thought I would never have time to paint again...I was wrong!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone out there have any stories about being an artist and a new mother?
