I'm dealing with a lot of stress in my life right now and trying to find 1-2 hours to spend in my studio.
But it's hard to "create" when your mind is consumed with other things. So today, I decided to work on something that I already know how to do rather than exploring new ideas, materials and methods. This kind of art-making gives me peace. Something I know knitters also like. A I finished this painting, it reminded me of Native American Art. I am not a Native American but have always admired their craftsmanship and colorful ceremonial outfits. I don't know what these leaves are pointing to — perhaps the unknown. But the colorful background hopefully points to a joyous future ahead. We'll see!

I’m a true believer in repetitive, previously-mastered art forms to soothe stress and treat grief. Worries about your marriage? Intense bead weaving. Your mother died? Embroidery. Stressed out? Knit until you can knit no more. Carol, you’ve inspired me for years. Hope art soothes the stress.
