I spent this afternoon painting something on a scrap piece of corrugated board for my daughter's school Christmas play; it's going to get cut into a jigsaw. It's a very long time since I've drawn, let alone painted anything.
I really enjoyed myself. I've still got a few things to alter when the paint dries...and it's daylight!
I think it's so easy to forget what we actually enjoy doing...it's not great, but I'm sure it will be fit for purpose. π

How absolutely lovely. I have got through some rough times since my GCA diagnosis by sitting hand sewing a big hexagon quilt with lovely fabrics. And watching the birds on the feeders. Now making a Christmas throw for my great niece Ebony's Christmas Present. You are so right it's easy to loose ones real self with these immune illnesses and drug side effects.πππ
That looks so fabulous.I love all the vibrant colours youβve used and especially the part with the shepherds,angel and that glittering star.How lucky those children are!
I started going to an art class about 4 years ago and found it so difficult to even just hold a brush with all the RA aches pains and stiffness. never mind standing at an easle for 3 hours!!I felt like crying cos everyone else seemed to be just cracking on and producing great things.Anyway I stuck it out and how pleased I am that I did.Im still going and joined another weekly Zoom class and often spend time at home now getting lost in something creative just forgetting everything.Sometimes I even finish up with something I likeπ€£
Hope it inspires you to pick up the brushes again.
Moomin, that is fantastic, Iβm sure your daughter is very proud of what you have done for her and the school will appreciate it too. I envy your talent x
That looks terrific Moomin8 - donβt say you canβt paint because that is fantastic. The school will love it and so will your daughter, bet sheβs really proud of you.
I used to love doing all that sort of thing when my kids were young, things like making costumes and mountains of baking for fetes. Alas those days are long gone and Iβve got no grandchildren to do it for. π¨
