I wanted it all, and I wanted it NOW!

My internal youngster soaks everything in and readies herself to grab fists of pens, brushes, cutters and pencils to get it all down NOW. She loves to "run with the pack" - both inside her head and out with other artists and artists' projects.  
(see artist's internal 3 year old at work above...)

My older self wants to close the door on these overwhelming possibilities and adore a singe pen nib on an 8" x 10" surface until the end of time, hoping to coax inexpressible beauty from its tip before that happens.

Balance.  Choose one career and allow for spontaneity within that?  Or, choose two or more careers and cut down on the variety of mediums to become proficient at?  Balance.
