Replying to Avatar 🟠 isolabellart

Let me tell you something you may not know: I gave up painting for almost thirty years and only recently picked up my brushes again.

Was April 2022 when I start again. I painted a portrait of my wife.

I told myself: "If this works, I'll return to painting. If not, I'll walk away forever."

It wasn't perfect. But it was enough.

For years I'd worked as a graphic designer. I'd let art fade β€” the way you let something precious die: without a reason.

But art didn't abandon me. It waited.

That portrait reopened a door. And since then, I haven't stopped.

Sometimes you don't need a grand moment. You just need to decide to try one more time.

I’m so glad you tried again, and that I have your art to hang in my home. πŸ™πŸ»
