Crafty is the perfect name for you! So many talents. Art is such an excellent means of calming.

Love them both! Hugs, Whitney

Thanks. The rainbow butterfly is computer art, I used some photo finishing software for it. (Picasa 3). The mountain scene is watercolor. (And I did the frame with Picasa 3 as well as my signiture). The clouds were done with Picasa 3 from a photo I shot. I do all kinds of artwork, I went to Pratt Institute, graduated in 1977, BFA in Sculpture, minor in photography (Sheila Orick was my maiden name then).

Thank you Barberian. Here is a picture I drew many years ago. The child is my sister. The teddy bear is representative of toys we never had. The cracked egg is that she died too young. She was almost a teenager when she died. The beginning of my ptsd. She was 4 years older than me. The smell and feel of blood is a major trigger for me. The tree represents my family, with all it's branches broken and rotten. The easel represents my way of coping. The hand in color is me, the only thing that's alive.
