This winter has been a challenging time, hunkering down and weathering the ravages of my moods, while trying to keep kids and animals from running wild in the streets, my head just barely above the cyclic darkness that descends upon me.
But there is light, and that light has been art. Drawing class,last term was at times super challenging, I kicked and screamed my way through mediums I did not like, but in the end, found that charcoal is a new love of mine. I am now taking painting, and have another new love, oil painting. It is so fun, I love how thick and messy and wild it can be, I doubt I will ever be one of those delicate, subtle painters, but that's ok, I'm not exactly a delicate and subtle person, so it makes sense. Bottom line, painting is fun and it definitely brings light and joy into my life, something I have needed, and who doesn't?
Glad to see you blogging! And yes, never be a delicate, subtle painter -- wild and messy is way more fun!!
