Great discussion @The-red-centaur !

I am trying to get back into carving out time in my week to refocus on my creative pursuits. 

I have a tendency to go hard for a period of time and then completely drop it, which I would really like to put the effort in to change.

I am keen to get back into photography in an accessible way and I am looking into the instant Lomography cameras. I have a Diana Lomo but until I can get back into things in my brain, I am keen of the immediacy and ease of film access of the instas 📸

Here are some of my paintings...now around a year old, even though I consider them 'recent' 🤣

Wow, they're some magnificent artistic contributions to this lovely thread @The-red-centaur and @Velvet_VanDetta! Thank you for sharing, your work put a smile on my face. 

My form of creative expression is a little less practical to share examples of in this space. I'm a dancer, so I find fulfilment and enjoyment in creating choreography 🙂

@puzzlingdino that's so cool that you choreograph dances. I wish I could dance but I have no rhythm lol amd my body is kinda broken and I can barely walk. 

I did this one yesterday...so proud of it. Never really done an animal before.

@puzzlingdino How wonderful that you dance! What type of dance do you enjoy?

@The-red-centaur What a beautiful painting! Well done on trying something new and painting an animal, and feeling proud of yourself! So you should be!

I get where you are coming from with the dancing with a 'broken body'. I also have trouble with mobility and use a walking aid. BUT I am learning to do Burlesque! In a chair! It is super fun and empowering!

[Velvet_VanDetta]

Love these!
