Happy Halloween!
I used to draw and paint but life got in the way and I've not done it in years. In fact I gave up painting in the 80s because an art teacher I had was condescending and critical of everything I did. This Halloween we had a pumpkin contest at work. We had to decorate the pumpkin without carving it.
I decided to paint a monster's face. I bought some kids poster paint and printed out a picture of Frankenstein. I had so much fun painting the pumpkin and I won first prize to boot. Some people even called me an artist. What a compliment and boost to my self esteem.
I rediscovered how much I enjoy painting. I received so many compliments that I think I have the courage to try my hand at it again. I only do it for my own enjoyment and maybe for my family so I don't need to be an expert.
Do you have talents you've buried. Maybe it's time to dust them off and try again. Or maybe it's time to find a new one. Give it a try.
