What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
I like to get lost….painting and creating. I left school at 16 but my art teacher would tell me that my painting was rubbish and messy.
I didnt paint a picture again until about 6 or 8 years ago, in my early 50’s but first I began by painting and decoupaging furniture.
It was then I realised that it wasnt necessarily the outcome, but the process of squeezing the paint from its tube, dipping the brush into it and just getting lost and so focussed at the same time.
It is like gojng down a rabbit hole on an adventure and it is fun and therapeutic.
I have large gaps inbetween painting/creating due to other demands on life but when im in the mood or have time for it, it totally takes me over !
So if your art teacher tells you that your work is rubbish, just carry on and enjoy the process…
