The Beginning of Something New...


Yes ... the beginning of a new journey for me.  A return journey to my creative heart.

After spending the last 20 plus years chasing after the wrong things and people, God has whet my appetite for all things creative again: knitting, crocheting, drawing and painting.

The drawing above is the starting point to what will be a painting one day.

I seem to be drawing the oddest things at the oddest times and on the oddest surfaces.  On the bus, in the back of my Bible, on a used envelope.  I am enjoying it though.

I am enjoying my return to my creative side.  It's been laying dormant for way too long!

  2. Probably acrylic on canvas. I like the effect that the canvas gives, and I've only every worked with acrylic.

  9. Creativity is such a gift. I have been enjoying photography and Oil painting.
    Oils are so much more forgiving than acrylics or pencil.
    I am so glad you have this outlet, Paula. When I get creative and make a mess I feel like a child again.
    Let's be kids together!
