I was wondering if anyone feels they might benefit from being part of an art group specifically for those here. I'm an artist, though I have to admit to you that I've produced absolutely nothing for ages due to being ill and in hospital, not having anywhere to exhibit for aeons and generally being extremely knackered out most of the time. But then I started thinking maybe I could do something positive about it. I've worked within what's called the 'Arts in Health' sphere and done a lot with things like colour therapy. I'd also like to say that you don't have to be rich to make art. I've done a whole exhibition made from recycled materials. It's all about taking yourself to another place for a while and having a bit of messy fun. No judgemental rubbish or anything like that. And if you don't think you're able to draw anything that looks remotely like what it's supposed to look like, well, that doesn't matter either. I think that maybe for starters you might like to message me if you are interested and then I'll try and work out a little programme. Just for us. Let me know what you think. Rainy X
I like that one too Tony. I tried to find the one I saw in America. It was bronze and red with a maroon bit. I felt like I was going to fall into it and had to sit down. Others were really uplifting and made you feel happy and energised. Remember all those hospitals with walls painted battleship grey? No wonder everybody in there felt gloomy. Take care Tony. Rainie x
Lovely shapes and contrasts Youngman. I hope that you feel uplifted by being outside and connecting? I can see that you've really looked for these compositions. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I'll stick one of my pix up too and maybe we can get you all to take your phones/cameras into your garden and put up some lovely images. Even when the garden is going into sleep-mode for the winter, there is still so much to see. Wishing you all a lovely week. Rainie x
