To my relief the painting palettes and found stamps proved to be exactly right for my life. One of the circles is made with the cardboard protection for a spark plug that a neighbor helped to install in our Toyota pickup. At the worst time the truck's transmission went belly up. Through all the distractions, my painting experience was better than I expected: I could paint a little every day for at least a few minutes.
I like the linear quality of knots that I discovered in a math course about topology, a branch of geometry. Professor Satyan L. Devadoss' THE SHAPE OF NATURE is a video course from The Great Courses designed for not only people engaged in math but also for history buffs and even artists. I am amazed that I am getting a rudimentary understanding of my father's math hobby. I am comforted feeling closer to him. I have his wisdom in how he took such good care of my mother.

Very calming and beautiful!
Thank you, Diannt.I am working at letting go of perfection which will calm me. Often in the process of painting it does not go well and I become frantic trying to control the outcome to prove that I am an OK artist.
All new to me but sounds very renaissance. I guess I have missed out on the care giving part, but it looks like your life still has balance.
Tabor,
Good to hear from you.
I know from past experience as a mother with a often sick baby and as a daughter caring for a mother with dementia, I have to be doing some art. So when I saw my husband not recovering fron his hiatal hernia surgery, I started setting up my studio so I could easily start and clean up. I planned a project that was more meditative with fewer choices. All this prepratory work is paying dividends now.
