When all else fails, paint it....

I have this denim shirt that I quite like but unfortunately it got red wine spilled on it. Even though I washed it right away and most of the stain came out there was still a mark that could be seen. But being me ever so resourceful I came up with an idea.

Before giving up on it completely I thought this would be a good piece to practice on and just see if I can salvage it by painting some flowers on it. I'm just beginning to lay out my design. I'm using my markers to do the outlining so I know which colors I want to use where. Once it's all drawn out I will apply some acrylic paint. Let's see what happens.

Who knew there was an artist lurking within? Certainly not me.

It started with my Mom giving me some paints that she wasn’t using but I never did anything with them because “I wasn’t artistic” - according to myself. We really need to learn to have a kinder inner voice because I have discovered that apparently I am artistic.

In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram from Australia who makes the most beautiful art. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on some rocks. I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began and since that time I have started following even more rock artists to inspire me.

In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who creates coloring books. Drawing is another thing I said I could never do but thanks to the inspiration I am receiving from this woman and through various social media sources I have discovered that I actually can draw.

So the lesson is....you never really know what you are capable of until you actually try it! Never say never, I can’t etc. to yourself. Obviously I have to change my words and thoughts from - "I'm not artistic" and "I can't draw" to.....
"Cool something new! Let's give it a try and see where it goes!" And now when people ask me what I do I say - I am an Artist!

I look forward to expanding my creativity. Thank you for your interest and support.
