I've been on the go busy with my Mom as  visits. Trying to glean bits of art time as much as I can. I never make art out of pressure but I do feel a need and a pull to create and make things. Art doesn't rule my life but it does shape it and is very much a part of my every being. 

I am reminded of artists like Matisse and Kurosawa who turned to other art forms when they lost their sight. The passion to create is the equivalent of breathing to some. They can't imagine a life without it. I can't imagine life without it.
