@Oaktree wow, that's amazing! I definitely am not as creative painting wise, but give me some inspiration and I can paint a vivid image with words.
Creative writing or any writing of the sorts, is my forte 🌟
What's the process like for mixing your own coloured paint? Does it have a certain degree of ratio for the perfect shade or is it a bit about trial and error?

I do trial and error. I have a bit of an idea what colours I need to add. The cream was white, yellow and a dab of brown

@Oaktree your painting is beautiful and tranquil. I think your psychologist will love it.
Well done to you. You obviously have a talent for painting.
I would never be able to produce something that looked that good.

I think it is lovely @Oaktree 😊. It is such a thoughtful gift also! Add nice character to their new office too. I hope they like it as much as I do. 😊

Thank you @Mustang67 @AlwaysMyself @Rosepetal96
I enjoy painting but if I could draw I would be better at it!

@Oaktree, ohh ok, that sounds really interesting 😊 The process sort of sounds fun, seeing what different variants you end up with

@Oaktree @Don’t feel too upset @Rosepetal96 @TAB because I have a BA visual art and hand on my heart I can’t draw either. @Mustang67 @Shaz51 dating dillema
