After a fairly long hiatus, I have returned to my creative self. I have missed this outlet but it is innate and although I have been busy as a new adoptive mom to a teen, and how chaotic my life has been through the pandemic and reengagement with the world, I tapped into every opportunity we had. During lockdown, my family bonded endlessly which was brilliant for us and much needed. We did a virtual paint event. I switched my focus and try to offer support and opportunities to my daughter. I steered her through a theatre production, voice lessons, drawing lessons and sewing lessons. She is now back in HS face to face and in a special program for fashion design! The positive side of Covid. One of the many ways we bonded that also included my husband, was we collaborated on a mural in my daughters room. I worked with her on what her vision was and settled on a beach theme. Google as my guide for inspiration, I sketched and mapped out in a paint by numbers methodology, on my daughters bedroom wall, sections to paint and provided the paint for each section. Each of us brush in hand filled in the space, I added touches at the end and we all signed our names. Highly recommend for your family and I am happy to guide you in this process if you want to try it in your home!
