I joined the Port Phillip U3A this year and am enrolled in the Chinese ink painting as well as the French Beginners class.
I wanted to use ink painting as a meditative activity and French to challenge my brain.
I started learning watercolour painting in my 40s and fell in love with it. This hobby has persisted all through the years even when I didn’t find time to paint. So, retirement has its advantages! Covid19 isolation has too!
During the lockdown period, I was able to tidy up my storage areas and found alot of art supplies hidden away.
I try to keep a routine of online exercising, writing, cooking, doing my French homework and lots of colouring. I also managed to sew some cotton face masks and scrub gowns for a homeless youth clinic.
I hope everyone’s doing well staying indoors. If anyone is feeling restless or bored, why not try colouring. I find it calming.
