Been awhile but just thought I'd show you something I actually painted this summer (unusual since I paint mainly in the winter because I'm not camping, fishing or whatever). Decided I can't take such a layoff if I want to get better.
You need something to do when work no longer consumes your time. It's best if that something is relatively inexpensive and you can do it on your own. So, let's call it a "hobby". Obviously it can be a multitude of things and nothing is out of consideration. You are only limited by your inability to take the risk that you might try something at which you might fail. I chose painting landscapes and wildlife and knifemaking. Tell me about your hobby or ask me how to get started on mine.
