You're welcome!
And yes, I do paint, intending to do something with my work too. But I haven't painted for some 3-4 months now. It will come.
I'm also a published author. I'm artsy fartsy I guess, hihi. I like to get on stage. Happens once a year only, during our King's day gig. I sing, do some backing vocals, percussion if need be, sing a few songs and the best part of it: I present it. I SO love that! It's so much fun to interact with people! I love bringing joy, sharing, connecting.
That's what I'm about. A few years back I finally discovered what my Soul's energy is, my essence, and it's joy. Bringing people joy. I try to do that with my paintings, my workshops, my readings, everything I do basically.
After I'd met my last partner -now ex- I got inspired to paint in a new style, with a different medium as well. I call it the 'Freedom Range'. It's very personal, expresses my own growth as a woman. They will be up for sale at some point. I got 6 now I think, one of which is not available, as I made that for my then partner.
I used to paint landscapes or abstracts. The Freedom Range however is people, quite the challenge, especially since there's a lot of nudity. Functional nudity, nothing pornographic. I use nudity to express either vulnerability or strength. The more sensitive people pick up on that, others think it's just a sexual image, which is it not. But like art, it's in the eye of the beholder :)
I can't post an example due to the PG rating and the nudity in my paintings. Otherwise I would've shown a few. I do have my FairyCrystal paintings thread somewhere on the forum, but I haven't posted in there for erm... 2 years? Lol.

Geezzz I'm babbling, sorry...
