Hello Hiveans , this is Cheryl Wink from the Green Hills of Durban, KwaZulu Natal,South Africa.
Acrylic painting of lady by the dam.
My husband Peter, artist and sculptor and I, moved to the once peaceful small village called Waterfall, which over the years developed into quite a busy little town.
Our three daughters, all talented in their own way, have left the nest to their own nestlings, leaving us with empty nest syndrome.We now have three Labradors who keep us very busy indeed,
Between the grandchildren animals and art, life can become quite hectic in our household at times,but I would never want to change it at all.
Peter is a full time artist and sculptor, I, on the other hand do a bit of acrylic painting, I like cooking, gardening, homesteading, natural healing, eco living and writing as well as many others, too many to mention.
I did teach pottery for awhile a few years ago,after that, did nothing for a long time until, my dear friend @lizelle nagged me to get back into blogging,this is my first time on Hive. I used to be on the old platform Steemit for awhile, but my art distracted me as I was busy with classes and other life issues and never really got into blogging.
Would like to share some of my paintings
I am grateful to @lizelle for introducing me to Hive . I am super excited to learn about the different communities which I will explore in the days to come.
Thank you Hive for giving me the opportunity to share
a bit of my life with other Hiveans

I was welcomed with good advice too when I started so here I am returning the favour. I know that Hive may seem very overwhelming right now but don't worry. After a few blog you will be a great blogger and contributor.

Very important I recommend you to never give up any off your passwords they are yours.
To blog i use Peakd, to control your account use Ecency, also an App I use is great, it gives you insight on what is happening in your account.

Thank you so much @hope777 i will most certainly enjoy the journey, I some how missed your comment and just saw it, must be newby nerves, love Port Edward, been there a few times, beautiful part of Natal Coast.
Hey @artywink, soooo glad you finally took the leap, it's great to see you here on Hive! Can't wait to see all your & Pete's artwork here, welcome my friend:)
thank you so much @lizelle , I am really feeling good about it, thank you for all the encouragement my friend. I feel alive again.
I delegated some HP to you to help you keep going on the blockchain, vote, write, comment, etc.
That's really so generous of you @noloafing, this is what the Hive community spirit should be all about!
Greetings from the Garden Route, I see you have been here since Jan 2018 but seldom used this account. I also make amateur art via paper collage images. Happy to be in touch with a fellow SAffer on Hive.
thank you @julianhorack , I was on steemit for awhile then my dear friend @lizelle nagged me to come over to Hive, still a bit wobly, but sure I will get the swing of things, love the garden route, one of my favourite parts of SA.
That's god to hear. We all moved over to Hive at the fork last year. It seems there is better engagement and rewards on Hive as less people use the old Steem now. It gets easier the more you use it.
Thank you @julianhorack much appreciated your comment. Go well and stay safe.
Exelente pintura muy bien desarollada, gracias por compartir.
