In my previous blog post, I mentioned that I enjoy art as it helps calm and relax me. The reason for this is because when I am in the moment with something I am creating whether that is an acrylic painting, pen and ink drawings, making crafts with clay, working on a scrapbook, and working on my photography skills with my camera I am in the moment. I am enjoying the strokes with the paint brush on a canvas, the stippling with my pen during a drawing, working with my hands to sculpt a figure, cutting and gluing pieces to a page, maneuvering the camera as I try to find the right lighting and angles. I focus on that moment and what I am creating and nothing else. It makes me not think about the stress that is bugging me whether that is from my job, school, the kids, work around the house, cleaning, etc. Art is always something I am proud to be good at and enjoy.
