Paintings by Mary C. Nasser

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. :)
