RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 24: Passions [Get paid for yours]

in Weekend Experiences3 years ago

I can paint a house, but ask me to paint something on canvas and it's likely to come out like an unrecognisable mess. I value art though, my father was a very good artist who made his living all through life by being an artist. I have showcased some of his work, in fact back there on this post https://hive.blog/hive-114105/@galenkp/shipping-out is one of his paintings hanging on my wall.

You're a very good painter, I hadn't realised you were so good at it. Well done.

We've talked about dancing before...I love it, watching it, but hate doing it. I have zero desire to dance personally and would rather chew my own head off than dance. But I love watching it. Weird? Maybe.

Photography, painting and dancing, all three of them legitimate passions and all artistic. I'm not surprised.

Thanks for joining in. I hope you stay around and comment on some of the others.

Woooow your father was a very good painter!! I am surprised with the details of the painting, I loved it. Excuse me for asking, but did he die?

About the dancing stuff i keep saying you should give it a try with some lessons hahaha may change your mind.

And sure, i will cross by sometimes, to let people write some more stuff, this is a great interactive activity you do! I congratulate you.

My father was very talented at all forms of art. Painting was mainly acrylic on canvas, but he was very artistic all around...He could even dance, but he wasn't very good. Lol.

Dad died on July the 1st this year. He was 84 and suffered with dementia and didn't know who I was at the end. It was a sad end to what was a pretty amazing life and I miss him a lot, but he would say he had a great life, 5 amazing children and wouldn't change a thing.

I had ballroom lessons with Faith (my wife) for months and months...We went with another couple, friends, then would go for dinner after. I hated it. For me it was the swapping partner thing...Didn't enjoy that so I stopped. Haven't danced since. 20 years or more. I dance on the inside though.

How sad to read that, dementia is one of the cruelest diseases I know. I hope you haven't suffered too much! And I'm terrible at giving my condolences, so I'm sorry, if i could i would just give you a hug and remain silent.

Ballroom may be kind of boring tho hahahahaha maybe is not your type of dance. I laugh too much with your last paragraph hahahahah I can´t with you.

It's ok, many don't really know what to say - Just knowing people care is enough. I lost my cat Merlin, 3 days prior. Had him for 22 years and he was my best mate. It was tragic and hurt a lot. Then my dad. 2020 hasn't been the best of years, but all we can do is push on and live life the best we can.

Me and dancing don't mix...I dance like a retarded spider monkey on crack - It's not a pleasant thing to watch. 🤣

Visual of the year:

I dance like a retarded spider monkey on crack

Totally fricking hilarious. ;-}

Lol...Well, it might be a slight exaggeration...Actually, nah it's not, I am a seriously bad dancer...It is truly frightening to behold. 😂

I imagine something like this:

But dancing hahahahaha @bashadow @galenkp

A little more like this, but way worse.

So nice to wake up and have smile makers cross my feed. I like yours and @galenkp's depictions.

😥😥😥😥 2020 It's really been terrible, I think that's enough suffering, hopefully 2021 won't be a remix of this year.

Well, people after a certain age get stubborn, so I won't keep telling you to give it another chance hahahaha you miss it.🙄😂 Keep dancing in your mind if you want. YOLO hahahahaha

Stubborn...Yep, good call. I won't do something I don't want to, rarely have I been made to do so in my 50 years. 😉

Afraid 2021 may be as bad as this one...The financial fall out. Besides, a vaccine isn't a 100% answer for the pandemic. It could bring more problems...Zombies maybe?

I don't really trust in those vaccines. I feel they are being done too quickly. And the zombies are a little overrated😂 Have you seen The Walking Dead? Zombies were the least of their problems.

About the stubborn thing didn´t meant to offend you, was a joke, sorry if i did.
