I am having health problems bad enough to keep me from what I enjoy so much....quilt making and quilting. I have been spending most of my days on the couch reading, playing candy crush, watching TV, surfing the net and being bored. Then, just the other day, I ran across a biography of Renoir. He was an amazing painter, but did you know he was severely disabled from rheumatoid arthritis? Yet, he kept on painting. You should see his hands...they don't even look like hands! Well....that got me to thinking and thinking and thinking till finally I called my friend Soozee and told her I needed her to come get me and take me to the store so I could buy some paint. She came right over and off we went to buy paint and brushes and paper.
Today I turned on some beautiful music and tried my hand at it. It was so wonderful to be creative in a new and different way. I like my first painting. There are things I don't like about it and there are things I need to learn....lots of things, but all in all, I like it for my first try.
I will keep at it.
