Mini Art Lessons at Home
What a weird time. Like most, I haven’t stopped thinking about everything that’s going on, and what a strange time it is. With everything going on I’ve tried to be appreciative of what I do have. My health! Probably the biggest thing to be grateful for. My husband, loved ones (even if I can’t hug them right now) a warm home, power, water, time to read, time to make food that takes all day, my skin looking glowy from not wearing makeup, wearing comfy clothes all day, really there’s a lot to be thankful for.
I feel lucky to have a career that encourages me to hunker down and paint, go inwards, and get something on the canvas. Spending all day in one spot as I paint, think, paint, paint, think, and paint some more. It’s not unusual for me to stay inside painting all day, and look around when I’m done wondering where the day went. Which makes this quarantine a little bit easier to handle, I have an activity to do. But my friends who have hobbies outside of the home aren’t so lucky.
