Don't tell anyone... but I'm no longer young either!
When I was a young mother, someone told me that I must start a hobby while my family is young. So when they grow up and leave home, I won't get the `empty syndrome' affect.
At first my in-laws were nasty about me spending some time on painting and how it was so important to me.
That wasn't true of cause... I gave up fame and fortune (you can ask the gallery owners!) for my children, until they were much older.
But my art and writing books on art, was the reason I would get up in the mornings!
Check my website: www.adafagan.co.za. Before there were free art book downloads. I've downsized it, and presently redesigning it again.
So I've had a full and interesting life... and my children are fantastic people in their own right.
