I started a painting today, thought it started out really well and got excited! Then somehow it went downhill and I ended up paining over it completely. See my ‘progress’ and laugh with me about it. Do I deserve a glass of wine now?

I just did a very quick watercolour to practice and help relax after work. I used a tissue to blot some of the paint and the shape of the tissue unknowlingly made it look like sails so I turned the shape into boats 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I could finish it and make it neater ⛵

Hi all, I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD last August. Just wonder whether there are any fellow neurodiversity peeps here or you may suspect you have ADHD/autism? Art does wonders for my mental health. It's the only "hobby" that I've managed to keep. Apparently that's due to the nature of making art, the paint and colours change, you can paint different things etc. You get a big dopamine hit when you create art. Whereas something like crochet I get bored and frustrated, doesn't help being ambidextrous 😅 Hope this post is allowed. Just curious ☺️ Goes along with the theme of being pushed into a "career" and not necessarily being listened to what you truly wanted to do ❤️ But we can change that now!! 💪🏼💪🏼
