SO MANY PAINTINGS
SO MANY PAINTINGS Psst! * * There were times, many times I wished I had the opportunity and financial ability to go to college and study art. Not to draw. No! I’m lucky I can mix red and blue and come up with purple. I’m lucky I can draw two parallel lines and have them look somewhat equal. What I would have loved to have studied were the artists and their creations. What were their inspirations? Where did they get their ideas? What made them choose one idea over another?

Hi there to all you fantastic creators out there doing your thing! It's been a hot minute since I've gotten to connect with you in an unofficial challenge.

Crunchy as the January snow. Salty, like the ocean’s summer breeze. Cheezy, as a favourite uncle’s jokes. Messy, like my mud-puddled knees.
