Edward,
Content sounds like a pretty good place to be!

Edward I was just thinking about you painting and remembering the peace and satisfaction my dabbling used to bring me...sometimes too much peace though, and I could loose myself. That may sound like a good thing unless you are a young mother of a very busy 2 year old.

One day, more years ago now then I care to remember, I was a young mom with a toddler, my eldest son, Adam.
He was busy playing on the living room floor and so I set up my paints...(it was water colour back then) and began working on an idea I had for a wildlife painting. Well, one thing came to another and I looked up thinking mere minutes had passed only to discover that Adam had every toy in his extensive collection all over the floor. He was, thankfully, resting peacefully, all worn out with play and I had been totally oblivious. When I checked the clock, several hours had passed and it scared me because even though Adam was fine...it could have been a very different story. So long story short, I quit painting, at least during the day when he was awake.

But I still remember the feeling of contentment when a painting was progressing the way I hoped.
"Content is a very good place to be."
