Those are really good! It’s amazing how much you can see into someone’s head when you look at their art. Especially when they tell you the story behind them.

Thank you. I used to do one a day. But I struggle to stick to things. Do you draw?

I started learning in my first 4 months sober. I’m sure if I let the expectations go I would be able to draw something worthwhile. I really need to get back to it. Historically I’ve done artsy stuff most of my life, but just dabbled here and there. In those first months of being clean I spent an absurd amount of money on art books and supplies and I really should be using them. I got some nice colored pencil sets, a set of Tombow markers and a set of decent watercolor paints. I always considered myself much more of a writer but my brain fog is quite severe and I can’t focus at all, so I haven’t been doing it. I think drawing or painting might be a much better hobby for me right now.

Clearly I too struggle to stick to things. :wink:

I love it(you are a killer Artist)!

Thank you! I’m fascinated by owls. :slight_smile:

I’m honored you like what I’ve shared so far. I haven’t been as into it here lately, but I’m hoping to get a new camera eventually and try to shoot the way I did in the past.

My kitties make this same face at me all the damn time. So cute!

Just took this pic from the front yard after tonight’s evening rain; a beautiful Idaho sunset.
