Nice… its the colorado flag inside the state of minnesota. My friend grew up in minnesota but made a life in coloradošŸ˜‰

Last night I actually made myself a fort to paint in lol
Btw I am not a great painter, My forte is actually makeup and poetry however I wanted to start painting anyways.
This is what I painted.I couldnt upload it normal I had to do it sideways.

I painted myself based off a quote I heard. "Into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul"
I painted me running away from all the beer and alcohol I used to drink, into nature which seems to be the only thing that helps keep me grounded. :purple_heart:

@Restlesssoul that ā€œfortā€ is such an interesting idea! Like creating you’re own space within another space.

@JohnSee Yes exactly!I needed something colorful and my own little space instead of the everyday things I see where I live.:blush:

This is the start of a collage for my panda loving baby girl.

I love him! (her?) it came so good - I like how it looks ā€œfuzzyā€.

This is the end of the panda collage. My daughter loves pandas, space, her new glasses and all things orange…I think I’ve got it all here. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

And then I tried something completely different.

I am a soprano and haven’t sang in about 10 years…since I started drinking. I’ve just joined a choir so I’m back to it :grin:

I love that!!

In my city they have a choir for people who can’t sing. I mean they aren’t totally tone deaf people but it is people who normally wouldn’t get into a regular choir. I do believe that groups always sound better than any one individual of the group. Anyways, I have thought about checking them out but I think there is quite a time commitment. Maybe when my kids are grown and I’m retired. LOL

Took a beak from studying for winter finals today to have a relax day. FINALLY finished this painting! My husband told me I should add a rooster wind thingy. Once I was done he very sweetly reminded me that they usually go on the peak center of the front of the barn Hahaha oh well!

I painted this a while ago and didn’t share because I’m not happy with how it turned out… but I’ve grown to appreciate it for the concept I was attempting. My first time trying a human shillouett.

The Atlas Of Human Anatomy for the Artist is an awesome resource to have when working on rendering the human form. I’ve used it many times when I didn’t have a live model to reference. :blush:
