Mental Health Release. I have a multitude of illnesses and suffer from anxiety and depression. Art made me happy again. ❤️

Watercolor. It's the first art form that I have really continued with. The bright cheerful colors help me with my depression.
Where do you find inspiration?I've kind of settled into painting my friends pets. They all have their own personality and somehow my doodling comes out and captures their individuality.
What would you do with $25,000?I will live on it because a couple years ago I lost my job working at UPS to AI. I have not been able to replace the position and have struggled ever since. This would help in my journey to retirement.
