Getting back into painting.

It’s been such a long time since I’ve painted. It’s so therapeutic for me.

Here’s to the new year! I hope everyone’s year is filled with nothing but good times 🖤

Hi Morgues.

Lovely picture! Glad you got back into painting. I like painting and drawing. Hope you are doing well and Happy New Year to you!

Thank you!

Happy new year to you as well!

Love your art work - our family are all nuts about art. My daughter runs her own gallery - she has a wonderful work done by an artist ,pagan priestess who paints landscapes.

The spirit of life and colour shines through. Hope you can tell people if you feel you are not ready for visitors as you need positivity. Looking after other people as much as you love them can make you feel upset if your views as an adult are not the same!

Do you used mixed media in your work - I have experimented with all sorts of different paints and cartridge pens, had a go at lino cutting, - I find there is so much to learn and

try it is totally time absorbing. The disappointing thing is that when you realise you have done a cracker of a piece of work if you leave a gap you can't remember how you did it. I'm sure you will continue to achieve success in your eyes and look back and see how you have come on. I found formal lessons stultifying - I had to get away from the

norm to express myself. Have fun.

I haven’t used that.

It’s overwhelming, in a good way, how much you can do to create art.

I can tell you have a natural sense of animal movement and life in your paintings.

It's a real talent and a sort after type of art work. Know you just want peace and relaxation and no pressure for the time being but soon you will have a collection of your new art work to admire. Wish I could have a peep.

Sorry about spelling I meant" sought after" not "sort after". Ha! must use a dictionary.
