I am feeling quite peaceful now. After the turmoil has passed, I am very grateful for having a friend helping me out in difficult times. I am a bit scared of facing the quarantine on my own, but somehow I am feeling more peaceful and relaxed than ever. Solitude is a great way of connecting with yourself, getting your thoughts back in line and to spend time in a creative manner.
At my friend's place I was pleasantly suprised by a cat's presence. I forgot how nice it feels to have a pet waiting for you at home. I am sure that once I will have my own place, a bigger one, I will get myself one.
Getting back to my usual creative default state, I must show you one piece of tshirt that I have been working. I thought about an abstract painting when I started to work on it. I felt the need of color, the need of vibrancy, the need for happy summer vibes.
This was very simple to paint, I also did a live on my twitch channel and it was quite a challenge to focus painting and to talk to the audience from my chat. Either way, I loved the experience and I liked to see how the final result unfolds in front of my eyes. I felt a bit like Bob Ross with me painting in front of people, but I quite loved it. There was a bunch of negative people in the chat room dropping mean words, but I guess I should have expected it . Nevertheless, creativity and good vibes helped me get over it.
Working with colour on white fabric is not easy. I had to pay attention all the time to not stain it. I'm happy that sunday once I get back at my place I will be able to use my easel and make my painting job a lot easier.
I am thinking about painting at least a tshirt a day, to see how creative I can be. It's a new medium for me and I get excited to try new things to keep my mind occupied with good activities.
What kind of activities do you think are good for keeping your mind occupied during quarantine? Leave your ideas in the comments, I'd love to know:)
P.S. This cat is so cute that I give you 2 bonus pictures:)) Fluffy little thing really gave me a good mood
