Hey gals: In addition to quilting, collecting buttons, beading and cooking, I love to draw and paint. Anyone else do that kind of stuff too? I'd love to hear from you here.

Hi Bonnie,
I love to paint. I just have a hard time finding the time. What do you paint and in what medium. Here are some pictures of some of my stuff...
It's been a while since I picked up a brush, but now I want to go break out my oils!
Smiles,
Lisa

Bonnie--I also like to draw and paint. There are a couple of my paintings on my blog. I just started painting a few years ago, have no formal training. It just feels good to put brush to canvas and create. I also do embroidery and I want to learn to knit. I have a lot of buttons, all vintage. Some came from craft stores or resale shops. I like to cook when I'm in the right mood--tonight it was roasted root vegetables. Can you post some pictures of your creations?

I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. My stepdaughters can draw and paint as well as your paintings. I wish I could do it, they are just so beautiful and a true gift from God. Thanks for sharing.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

Those are beautiful Lisa, my stick people look bad, I have zero artistic talent. You should be proud.
Warm Wishes

Very pretty, Lisa. I can paint up a storm in my head but when I try to actually do it, it's awful. Why is taht? I feel like I am kind of artistic and see things certain ways in my head but that's as far as I get with it. I hate stright lines so that's ok with me if I can't draw one. I do everything curvy around here. Even garden rows look better to me curvy. I do envy artistic people, though.

Maggie" that's not my work, it's Lisa Two. You're right, it is great!
But girls, this isn't about who makes the nicest stuff. I asked the question does any like to paint or draw or crafty stuff. I'm talking enjoying it without being judged. I hope we can still do that for ourselves. "Try it, you'll like it"
