I enjoy seeing my end result. It's beautiful therapy for me to positively distract myself when I remember what I survived years ago.

I love working with charcoal. I love painting trees, life. It's been decades, but I was always able to look at anything/anyone and draw/paint it.
Where do you find inspiration?My late grandmother whom I took care of in home hospice with me was always supportive of me and my whole family really. I've had a certain image in my head for years and it's still not to my liking at all. It's a beautiful habit to get into, to just start painting or drawing. It helped me greatly when I was in a nightmare of a relationship and it's all I had to hold to, aside from my job(was always my safe space)and raising my two sons. I love creating and love helping people. Thank you.
What would you do with $25,000?Momma needs a roof(as in me). I would have the damage parts fixed and fix my pouch that a tree took out last year. Then if able I'd pay off my smaller debt to hopefully get good credit, buy oil to fill my tank to heat my home, Pay at least five thousand to the town for property taxes. I'd also love to sign up my youngest son in MMA/ jujutsu classes for that's his dream. If by any chance I have anything left I'd love to visit my oldest son. Main focus is the house. Thank you. Good luck on all.
