Painting in different Times and Moods

When I paint, I need to be in a special state of mind or soul... I mean that I must be in the mood focusing and devoting all my emotions, feelings and energy into my work. 

One of my friends asked me a week ago about my art, how is it going? I said that I stopped for few months due to family commitments.  She replied that I must have an hour or so for my Art only everyday so I can be developed. 

I can't paint everyday honestly, because of lots of things, I have work, kids, a house and also some Gym classes. I need to keep up with all this and also I need to rest somehow during the day.... or I think I need it.. 

I know one thing, that when I start painting, I forgot everything.. I isolated myself in a relaxing, quite environment, including my music, my canvas and my palatte. I became very engaged with this situation for hours that I never count how many.... this is how I paint.. 

I don't like the idea of devoting sometime everyday to paint. I don't like to make it as a task that I have to do... I paint according to my mood....

Sometimes, I don't feel that I want to paint or to be even near my studio. And sometimes I want to paint all day long... 

Also, lots of things interrupted me when I work that in many days made me stop everything.... and my mood just be the opposite. 

This is one of really annoying issues for home studio. When one of my kids needs my help, I just got distracted and leave my place.. especially when my kids asking me Mama what are you doing? Can we paint with you? and looking at my canvas and playing with my colors and brushes.... 

But I discovered that when my kids start painting with me, they gave me some motivation and inspiration.. sometimes, it became annoying and very very messy... anyway this developed my relation with my kids and make it a quality family time... 

Painting or drawing in common helps you breathe, relax and give you peace that drives you to a different environment. It is true when they said: Art makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness.....
