Coo! #3 Painting

I do all of the things that I do- my work endeavors, my community endeavors, my charitable endeavors, my artistic endeavors- because they give me joy and fulfillment. Painting has become one of my best friends in life. It's very relaxing because I paint primarily for myself, I don't have any external instructions or guidelines that I have to follow, which is good for me, because I don't like people telling me what to do. I prefer to act and behave the way I want to, rather than the way someone else may want me to act or behave. So painting is relaxing and intellectually stimulating and I find that it causes me to appreciate myself when I'm doing it and when I'm looking at my complete work.
