thank you for prompting me to add my age to this page - not something I would normally do.
“New Release Bonus Entry” - Mixed Media Monthly Sept 2021 - We Learn from Each Other - Rachel's contributions.
Thank you for a thought-provoking challenge... I turned 45 this year, and with COVID restrictions and so much time spent at home talking over a glass of wine... there's been a lot of sould searching with ageing, retirement, life plan and the like at the forefront ... Here is my entry... just some thoughts on getting old... journaling can be found in the gallery.
Chaos in life can be therapy expressed in your art
