I think I have been procrastinating again. I have kinda stalled on my list of things to do. I had an idea last night that gave me a little shove. I have a few of my children who have been troubled, either by life decisions or health issues. This gives me a lot to think about and a lot of advice flows from my river of a mouth. Some of it necessary for the younger children, and some of it probably very unsolicited for the older ones. In any case my river of advice is always flowing with good intentions but as an adult child who has been the recipient of unsolicited flows of advice, I began to think about how I look to my children. How they receive the advice given, and what impression of me my advice gives them. This in turn leads me to imagery, when I  have a hard time getting my head around a concept, I often think in pictures before the idea is clear to me in words. I had these rushes of images in my head images that depict motherhood, childhood and the intricate relationships that are involved when the two mesh. I am going to start working on some sketches today, I think I have a number of series in mind. Motherhood, childhood, child transitioning to mother, and mother adult child relationships. I don't know what medium I want to use for any of them, I am thinking I will sketch them all and then decide once I see how they play out on paper, if they need to be painted in oil, watercolor, sculpted or just left as a sketch. I hope by the end of day today I will have one done and procrastination or other "things" don't pop up.
