Getting my artsy on

It’s been cold, it’s been snowing, that’s no surprise for Up Nort’ but it has given me too much inside time. New project desperately needed. Organize, no. Declutter, no. Cook, no. Sort photos, no. Paint. Yes, I should paint. Problem is, I don’t really do that. I thought I’d try. I thought I might try some Aboriginal-like art I saw somewhere. Thinking, “I just need to start with a dot!” So I did! It’s been very therapeutic and fun! I have a few people who have liked what I’ve done. I even like most of them and that’s pretty unusual since I don’t normally like much of what I do. It’s a perfectionist’s curse. I keep experimenting with colors, designs and techniques. Once I get going it’s so difficult to stop. So many ideas in my head for new ones but I should probably do something else, like cook. All those photos are still sitting there too, in boxes, waiting to get organized. Yet, I am painting dots.
