I love to to acrylic abstract art .
I find it fun ,relaxing,therapeutic and a lovely way to express myself by being creative ,plus I get to make a big mess
I recently did a painting how I viewed my colon cancer ..the tumour depicted was only small in comparison to the rest of the painting ..cancer doesn’t define me .
I also gave the tumour a name ..Weasel..painting is titled ‘ weasel be gone ‘
I’ve been writing poetry for about 9 years as well .
I started acrylic painting when I was going through depression & anxiety about 3 years ago.
id love upload my ‘ weasel painting ,but my techno skills are rubbish .
if someone could tell me how ,I’d gladly show you some of my art work .
Tia for reading ..be kind to you daily

Hi Janglejones, love the sound of "the weasel" and would love to see it. When you start to post on here there is a pic 3rd along from the word "paragraph"
It looks like a mountain, press that one and "camera" then take a photo, it should automatically appear on your post. Hope it works!
I'm with you, my cancer doesn't define me, ever and also I have my own messy area-my alottment

I’m sorry I did say techno stuff isn’t my thing .. could you possibly explain again how I upload a photo please x
Sure, I'm not brilliant myself. So I am writing this post in this box. Below it is the word "paragraph" which just shows options for setting out what you are writing. In those options below is a picture one, looks like a mountain. So start writing a post in this box then press the "mountain" picture below. That pops up with a few options, one of which is "camera". Press "camera", the camera on your phone comes up and you can take a picture of your Weasel pic. That should just appear straight away in this box then you can post it to this site. I guess this method only works on your phone. If you have a laptop then you've got to take a pic with a camera then upload it to your laptop then access it.
Hope this helps x
Hi there
ive had problems uploading. For me my iphone gives me the choice of adding a photo but my iPad doesn’t. I don’t know why. Below I’ve shown you the icon to upload I’ve screen shot this post and saved it to my library
You see
I can upload a photo and send it because I’ve got that little rectangle third from the left. That means I can choose from one I photographed earlier. But my iPad doesn’t show that icon
Keep trying. It’s tricky but a learning curve.
Good luck
Ann
