1. Painting grounds me.

2. Painting restores me.

3. Painting is the one constant in my life.

4. Painting lets me communicate and connect to others without words.

5. I love painting! I cannot not paint!

Okay, so it’s 6 reasons!

Hope you’re having a great beginning to your week!

Painting is very soothing to me. I can turn my mind off and just go.

Exactly. Especially number 3. It is the thread that weaves it all together.

Painting for me is relaxing. I put the paintbrush in my hand and let the creative side of me come out.

Another reason: It can be a calming/relaxing, stress reliever.

Painting restores me - yes doesn't it just - although I hadn't thought about it until I read your post. You have some unusual art here that holds the eye - I love little bruno too, what a dear little dog.

The mixed media artwork is amazing! Is that a piece of a looking glass you have glued there?

All the 6 reasons resonate to me too. :)
