Artistic Expression

My husband Erik is an excellent artist. Whether he draws a map or sketches out a funny picture for our son, he makes every line and curve seem so effortless. My son is an artist-in-training, who likes to draw pirate ships on a vast sea while narrating a story. Unfortunately, my drawing skills are nearly non-existent.

For the past year I have talked about taking a beginning drawing class at the local arts center. In fact, the arts center has all kinds of classes I'd love to take, from metal working to making mosaics. My excuse has always been that I don't have time, but that's not exactly true.

Figuring it out takes work, but I can definitely squeeze in more creative time in my life. I just need to make it a priority. It doesn't even have to involve taking a class. But I will check the class schedules after the holidays.

How do you find time for your favorite hobbies?
