Painting Entertains Me Big

My blue hair women paintings are surprisingly fun,
But the most interesting are my blue black haired combo.
I know this because I am staring at them now.
Pony-tailed, hatted, hanging, one doing the mambo.

I always thought the pink hairs would be the most “ut”.
My pink cats and dragons have them completely topped.
If I counted all the flowers and hearts on my walk.
I would laugh at my ludicrous self, that I could have never stopped.

Painting has been a most enjoyable hobby to me.
It has kept me out of relatives’ squabbles galore.
Entertaining me in every which way and wild.
Keeping me away from cleaning which I truly abhor.

G'day Caren … I can never understand how painters/sketchers get that dimensional effect. Anytime I attempted was flat and under achieving. Well written Caren and keep going with your artistic skills - Lindsay

My stuff is flat, but I get a bit of effect by adding glitter paint, glitter, buttons, shoes, sawdust, and lots of other stuff from my junk drawer. A glue gun is a flat painter's best friend.

I enjoy drawing n painting. Both are my hobbies. Still I prefer to wish close associates with hand made cards. Love.

Handmade cards are the best; there is nothing else that comes close to soothing a sad heart.

I used to paint and draw when young and was good enough at it to and allowed by my art teacher to try for a RISD scholarship, which I didn't get. No matter, it was only a hobby. Writing is my blood and I prefer that to painting. Thanks for the stop by and the kind words Karen. BTW are you German? If so, es ist eine Ehre dich kennen zu lernen. (It's an honor to meet you.) / M

I am a mutt - Swedish, English, and Irish, with a bunch of other stuff thrown into the fray, Maurice. My husband had always bragged he is German until we took DNA tests. He has more English in him that people who live this minute in England.
