A little Artsy Fun
I have mentioned that I paint. Mainly for relaxation purposes. Art therapy was suggested by my therapist as a way to work on being mindful. To get out of my head and into the moment. To clear my thoughts. I don't have a specific genre. I have painted dream catchers, abstract, just finding my way.for the most part. I've posted some of the colorings I have done in the past.
I decided to try to work on entering @magiccleatus' Zen Coloring Contest. Won 3rd place my first go. Kind of tickled. I worked on last week's but didn't have time to finish it and get it posted in time for the contest so I thought I would still share it on this post. 
Anyway, @bdmillergallery had mentioned viewing some of my paintings. I admit kind of shrugged off. Next comment was "I'm going to go look" There are a couple from when I first started on Steemit but nothing recent. So, to hold true to my word, here's a little of my dabbling. The dream catchers are actually the first and everything else has evolved from there. I experiment to see what works and what I like. I hope it doesn't harm your eyes too much.
Pay It Forward Contests
Thank you for your continued support!
Love,
I have a soft spot for dream catchers.
Em joyed your post.
Namaste, JaiChai
Me too. I went to a class and learned the basics. I actually have sold 6 dream catchers. It's mind boggling.
Oh, I really liked the last two. Is it acrylic?
They are @amalinavia. The first one was a mix of glue and floetrol. Mixed in the paint and used a couple drops of silicone in each color. The 2nd one was glue and water with acrylic. They're really fun to do. I don't get lots of cells like I have seen in the videos I have watched, but they still come out with such a uniqueness.

I used to do colouring on Mandala as a way to relax myself. I guess art therapy really works!
I'll have to post more of my colorings. I had started with that and still do from time to time. If I had the time, I would use colored pencils for the stencils from the Zen Coloring contest. I get more satisfaction out of it.
I've found it does. I start getting stressed and my husband will look at me and tell me to go paint. I'm able to relax and can carry on. Sometimes, it's enough so I can meditate.
In that case, hope to see more from you!
I'd put one on my wall...
That means a lot @wales thank you. 😊 Or should I just paint a big giant #1 for you LOL.
Oh wow, i like your paintings, @tryskele ! They are really interesting <3 The dreamcatcher is cool, but I also like your flowers and trees! And those fluid paintings at the end are really wonderful * ___ * You should do more :O
And take step by step pictures the next time you do them, Steemit audiences love step by step! :D
I like the one with a tree and a moon, as well as the fluid paintings at the bottom of the post :) art therapy...sounds interesting! Maybe I should read a little more on that.
Thank you @Iilacse. I had fun with that one. My mom said it creeped her out 'Too life like' There are so many things you can do. I overthink everything. Which is why this was recommended to me. It's been fun to see the differences from when I started to now. I keep learning more too. My therapist suggested I just get paint and finger paint and just see where I end up. I decided to try coloring instead LOL.
These are absolutely beautiful @tryskele ♥ Keep going...you have a gift.
Thank you so much @lizablove 💜 I always wonder.
Certainly some beautiful works here.
Very arty.
Blessings!
Thank you very much @papilloncharity 'The Squirrel Hunter' LOL
Thanks @veryspider 😊 The fluid has been fun lots of experimenting. I will try to get a step by step in, I start then I get lost in the moment. I have some mixed up paint I need to use up. I'll just have to make a moment.
