Helen asks in her June 25 2025 prompt, “If you had an extra 2 hours daily, how would you spend it?”
My answer to Helen’s question is – I will spend my extra two hours on self-improvement.
I’m at a stage in life where I need to develop a viable part time, freelance project. I tried to learn drawing and painting by reading books and I’m still trying to progress slowly. If I don’t succeed, I can stll use my skills in simple projects.
If I had my extra two hours a day, I would spend the time on self-improvement, on my learning goals, to prepare for my future. As I mentioned, my goal which I’m focusing on, is drawing and painting.
I’m practicing my skill by brainstorming for drawing topics, then drawing and water color painting the subjects on the paper. My art complements my blog posts, to illustrate them.

In the past, I used to dabble in mixed media art. I sewed embroidery, painted, and made collages. You can see some samples at art pieces here
