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
Your holiday pics have made my day, thanks Chelle.
I've taken a certain young ladies advice, and started jogging, and walking, well more walking at the moment.
Oops forgot to say this is a shot of Prinny Park, takes me a minute to walk there, some green areas but mostly wooded.
Time to put this thread back up the leader board. My next image is by the American artist Edward Hopper and is 'Jo Sketching at Good Harbour Beach'. Said Jo was his wife and his only model - I think she made sure he didn't paint any other women. He wasn't noted for his rendition of the human form, but I really like his very atmospheric landscapes and city-scapes. You will know him for his famous pieces like 'Chop-Suey' and 'Nighthawks'.
