Much like swinging from the ceiling with a rope. I think some of this art will relax me.

Oh Barbara, this is so exciting to hear. Well done getting creative with different ways to make art. That’s the thing, when we don’t let anything stand in the way, there’s always a pathway for our creativity.
Well done!

I was only able to paint/write with my left hand until about a week ago and your “simple” techniques were exactly the inspiration I needed to pick up a brush in my left hand and see where it would lead! I am now experimenting with painting with both hands and loving the different directions it’s taken me. Thank you for providing such food for positive thought in your art and all you do through your work!
