Challenges

The new quarter is upon us as well as about six new inches of snow in mid November. To all you advanced art students in this new quarter I have asked the question, "What are your challenges?" I have been thinking about how I would answer that question. When I'm sitting in that classroom I draw a blank, but here at home--and at midnight--these challenges are crystal clear.

I don't have enough time in the day.
I need too much sleep in order to function properly during the day.
My children are growing up too fast. I will miss them terribly when they grow up and leave for college.
I have too much homework and I'm falling behind on my grading.
And I volunteered to play the piano accompaniment for my child's trumpet solo on Saturday; and I'm not a very good pianist!!

Hmmmmmm......... how could I put that all in a painting?

Do you have better ideas for school when you are not in school?
