well I did. for more then 5 years I hardly could paint, draw anything. I even couldn´t conzentrate on reading a book or watching a movie. all things I love to do since I am a child. now this period has an end, because I quit my job( was my doctors recomendation!) and that was the best I could do. I wasted 5 years of my live to this stupid job I hated more day by day! all of a sudden I´m back to my passions and paint and draw everyday for some time. sure now I must search for a new job wich ain´t easy these days but I´m more then glad I started painting again, it gives my soul so much peace and joy does anybody have a simlar expirience?

Yes. I worked two jobs for so long that I forgot myself completely. It took cancer to slow me down. Now I "doodle" a lot and my boyfriend thinks I should sell my work. Even coloring in a coloring book with the grandkids makes me feel peaceful. Talk about a cheap vacation! I am happy for you that you rediscovered your artistic side. Good luck and may God bless you!

thx puddlebear, yes I know most times it`s the hard side of our lifes that lets us discover the brightsight and you know what? if your boyfriend thinks you should sell your art - do it!!! or at least show it here on mylot and ask for peoples opinion...why not??? share your creativity with us all...there are so many people trapped in their bussines lifes....they might need more inspirations and about the coloring books and your grandchilds: I am a "freshbaked" auntie my sisters daughter is about 9 months old now and I cannot wait to buy her her first pencils and coloring books and discover this world with her!!
