i certainly started with stick figures - lucky to have encouraging friends.,,,,,very ordinary with benefit of lots of practice...any subject (here with u people...flowers to ducks to planes to jupiter) any surface when funds are low (old plywood or wood....or ) ....low cost paints...or pencils or ink or scratch off or water color/freedom...is point

as well support

and encourage each other...

we celebrate participation....develop;inng skills (could be guitar or whatever)

project does not have to be certain style or level of accuaracy...

it our project-- our journey our creation

we compete only with ourselves....if we must...

we can dedicate it to any loved one

Creativity can definitely survive a brain haemorrhage. I wrote a novel before I got ill and post tbi I'm now writing a sequel

really realy admire writers esp as some***(not all to be fair....i have known v good doctors who were very humane and mean a great deal to me and others) some doctors are such literalists....omg they get upset5 if someone uses a metaphor.....whereas really good writers......take u anywhere....its amazing skil ane gift....like musi to me ..i cant sing a note so i really admire it5....thanks.
