Jennifer, I used to paint. I loved water color. I was pretty good, but then life, job, and kids took all my energy. I even taught art in elementary school for a while. I loved doing that!
I also enjoyed calligraphy. I use past tense because my hands tremble from the anti rejection meds that I need due to my organ transplant.
So I am giving my attention to fabric and needle work. I have a need for control and I like patterns. Here is a thread and bead project (green)that I created. And one from a pattern.

@rosemarya Watercolor is my favorite. It's the most difficult, but so beautiful when the light reflects off the paper through the paint. Thanks for posting your work. These are nice! I'm glad you can still do them, and I'm sure they bring you joy. Here's another thing that creativity does for us... we can think outside the box, and see possibilities and problem solving that others might not see. I think our environment influences us a lot even when we are not aware of it. If we surround ourselves with something beautiful and meaningful, we feel at peace.

@rosemarya These are intriguing and would require focus to create. Partial to the green one. Amazing all of the ways there are to be creative.
