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've come back to the forum after a week away painting with a friend. We've lost some lovely people recently and I know it makes us feel sad and down, but in this place we're a feisty bunch and we bounce back.
I've always turned to art to make my life more positive and so I thought that we needed a bit of a boost. Here are a few pix showing some of the landscapes I've been looking at. Actual art will hopefully come along shortly. As you can see, I like wild, empty places. It would be lovely to see your favourite landscape and nature images. Love to all. Rainie x
This is a photo from my dog walk yesterday, it doesn't really do the autumn colours justice. 
But I do love autmn in the woods
