Summer Afternoons – the centerpiece of my everyday

I had an instinct for the art, but it was only after marriage and with considerable encouragement from my husband I trained in pottery and ceramic art. My husband is a commercial artist and works in the art department of a publishing company in the city. I work from home, make ceramic items, and supply them to online retailers. There is a nice lady, a buyer, who helps me with connecting with the retailers. My job is to create what I have the skills for and not worry about the savvy business matters. As long as I feel a sense of fulfillment and need to commit just a few hours every morning, I am not inconvenienced by my ordinary dreams. Frankly, I never pursued an imagined life or ambitions with statutory sacrifices of everyday life’s little mediocre pleasures. They are the very substance of my being.
