With an active one year old and a homeschooling 11 year old with me all day everyday, I really appreciate the time I get to paint! I make sure that I get some quiet time for myself every afternoon so that I can slow my brain and my body down and rest.
Slowing my mind down is not an easy thing for me to do. I tend to think far into the future so that I can plan ahead, but that leads to me worrying more than I should. So that's where painting helps my wired brain. Painting forces me to focus on the present. I love watching wet paint spread and mix on paper! It's so satisfying! I experience childlike wonder every time I pick up a paintbrush.
Here are some of the paintings that came out my quiet time over the past few months. Lots and lots of flower paintings- all in different styles too! My brain loves exploring new ways to create!
