My father painted, but he preferred oil. Don’t know why … ? 
When growing up I often watched him paint…(I come from very artistic family, my grandmother was a director of theatre, so music, painting, acting ..were part of my upbringing )

 

Beautiful paintings you have produced. Love it.

I come from a very artistic family

Now that brother had mentioned that interesting bit about his cherished ancestry, I just remembered my mother's brother was a gifted artist but he did only Chinese painting. My mother had taken some of paintings out of China 40 years ago but shortly after that China clamped down on any artwork being taken out of that country. Unfortunately I couldn't draw a thing to save my life. 😭

But artistic talent runs in my family. My 50 year niece was talented in that field but studied business administration in Monash University, Melbourne. Our son loved drawing when he was young but we didn't quite capitalized on his natural talent. He also showed a gift for giving student talks when he was still in the truth in his late teens. Again I was hopeless in that field. 

Now finally aeons later, my nephew's son is a graphics designer in UK. Very talented but none in my family is in the truth. Sad that all this while I had only concentrated on the academic side of my extended paternal family. My father the eldest in his family was adopted into a well off family so there seems to be some dissonance in familial traits. He was the son of a poor close relative.

Scientists have discovered that daydreaming is an important tool for creativity. It causes a rush of activity in a circuit, which connects different parts of the brain and allows the mind to make new associations.

When the pandemic started I had some time on my hands, so I came up with a crazy idea.... try myself at painting. Looks like fun, but I had never tried it before. I started out using acrylic paints, but quickly realized oil was easier for me. Anyway I painted a few pictures throughout the summer of 2020 and then I got busy with other stuff and I haven’t got back to it. Someday. :lol:  Here are just a few.....It’s nothing great but it turned out better than I expected and it was fun and relaxing. The trick is, don’t rush. I have a tenancy to rush things...it help me to relax and slow down and think :lol:

Here is another one I tried just using a palette knife and a tea spoon. I was really impressed with this technique and that it actually doesn’t look too bad. I really need to try to do some more. 😃 🎨👩‍🎨

Pretty fond of fast drying acrlics myself...except when they dry inside the tubes because I'm not using them enough. Just closed my sign shop last year and retired and plan to put the brush to canvas more now.

Beautiful(!)

...It is how it is... 😊  I love long walks, special when you do the walking. A long answer is not short. If you, Sister, are "a nice one", feel welcome to hit the PM button and drop me a line. (See topic; Single again)
