The intense focus was amazing in yesterday's Art Group session. The class felt a little bit like a creative meditation!
This week, the group was given a drawing task, and they took it all in their stride, as usual.
Back when the group started around three years ago, many of the new members were filled with a sense of dread. That feeling many of us can probably relate to, when we'd rather do almost anything else than reveal our creative side for fear of getting it wrong or not being 'good enough'.
Fast forward three years and what a transformation!
Those once-hesitant artists now approach each new challenge with confidence, curiosity and a willingness to give anything a go. There's no longer a fear of the blank page, just the enjoyment of creating something and seeing where it takes them.
And that's one of the lovely things about this group. It's not really about how good you are at drawing or painting. It's about trying something new, discovering abilities you didn't know you had, making connections and enjoying the company of others along the way.
We're incredibly proud of how far this wonderful group has come, and it's a lovely reminder that you might surprise yourself with what you can achieve if you're willing to give it a go.
