“That's the funny thing about trying to escape. You never really can. Maybe temporarily, but not completely.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout
During lockdown - well "HARD" lockdown (as technically we are still under lockdown here in South Africa)... I had a lot going on in my life. My moms health was failing fast and my hone nursing skills were tested to their maximum. That coupled with the new lifestyle of full time home schooling, being the full time maid as well as still trying to continue with all of my usual "mom" and "life in general" responsibilities - not to mention the (all too familiar) emotional and psychological effects of months of cabin fever... I found myself feeling utterly depleted and looking for an "out".
Whilst I have always dabbled in various creatives fields and even attended my moms classes for a couple of years - the only REAL creative field I was ever completely consumed by was my career passion of graphic design and desktop publishing... and the piano! However, I will say that during this time, I started to "doodle" on my phone and the more I did it... the more I enjoyed it. It was a momentary escape. It allowed me to express and release. Much like writing has always done, but at that point in time I did not even have energy enough to write. It was incredibly good food for my soul.
On Sundays, I generally make use of the #showcase-sunday opportunity and tag and whilst I was not going to post all my "scribbles" as entirely separate posts - I started going through them - somewhat recalling the mental and emotional state I found myself in with each and every one and thought I would just put them all into one #showcase-sunday post.
If you are not familiar with the tag #showcase-sunday - it is an opportunity for you to re-publish something of yours which you feel is worth sharing again.
I do not consider myself any great shakes when it comes to painting or drawing, but it is something I enjoy greatly! So whether you watch the videos or not - appreciate them or not... I suppose this was more about me taking a little trip down that road again - appreciating that I am still standing.

Those all look absolutely fantastic, @jaynie! I love the timelapse, too. Have you considered making NFT's of any of those?
Thanks @wwwiebe :) I had not to be honest... I fear perhaps they are not "WEIRD" enough for NFT :P lol !tip

Those are great digital paintings. I'd love to learn some day. Don't have the tools yet. I pencil draw in the mean time and started experimenting with watercalors and markers.
I did not know about that showcase-sunday tag. Thanks for sharing your art. They are good and more importantly you enjoyed working on them
Thank you love. Appreciate the positive input! Experimentation is the BEST tool set :) !tip And yes... I figured a few more people might like to make use of that tag :) Especially on a Sunday.... when you want to relax haha! :) !tip

You do have talent! You are so humble, Ms. @jaynie. Your work is really quite beautiful. ❤️
I was not aware of the #showcase-Sunday tag. How fun! I will think about what old goodies should be trotted out for a revisit.
Thank you love! MWAH! And yes.... it's a great tag for a lazy Sunday :P haha!
Great art @jaynie. you definitely have talent.
Thank you sweetie x
Doing what would make one feel good is the best. You did well Jaynie
Thank you :)
Your works are lovely! Writing for me is also an escape but there are just times when I don't have the energy for it. It's good that you have another creative outlet.
Thank you xxx and yes, it is nice to have a few outlets... haha - Cooking and music are definitely a couple of my others :)
Your art really made my morning great @jaynie! Thanks for sharing it with us and I hope to see more of it in the next coming days! =)
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment.
Very nice renderings. I love to play around with oils ala Bob Ross. Perhaps one day when I hit the lottery I will have more time to devote to it :)
Thank you!! xxx Oils was my moms specialty.... She has left ALL her paints with me but I don't know when I will be ready to delve into that... besides, nobody could teach quite like her... but perhaps in time.
Oh course no one can replace mom. However, whether actually painting or just wanting to relax, I do enjoy Bob Ross. Over 400 episodes all free and he is so relaxing.
Was wondering who you meant... Will DEFINITELY check him out! Thank you xxx !tip
Oh, yes sorry. He is so iconic here! I forget not everyone lives in the US lol. My bad 😄
