Or Life B.P. – as I often call it
There was painting!
I am still team pottery all the way, but painting was my gateway drug to creativity!

Your paintings are beautiful! ❤️
Thanks John! That is very kind 🙏
Sometimes I think you should consider it again in concurrent with the pottery
Thank you Matt!
Beautiful pottery – wonderful paintings… do we find out next you were a dancer as well?
Never professionally, but love dancing for fun! 🙂
It used to be words (lyrics, poems, and blogging), but over the last few years I’ve (surprisingly to me) shifted to visual art, painting in particular.
I love your paintings, the one at the top in particular. The swatches of colour remind me a little bit of a Paul Klee painting I’ve been doing exercises from in my night class:

Love your pottery too. There’s a gallery near me that has a lot ceramics and raku pottery on display, and I can definitely see the appeal.
I can see what you mean with the Paul Klee paintings, thank you for sharing that with me and a bit about yourself too 🙏
I guess my medium is font. I am trying to create a sub-genre of writing that highlights various lingual realities in otherwise subjective text. My goal is to create a writing style that invokes the mystery of Christianity but at the exact same time grounds it in reality. Thanks for asking! I love the art and the pottery <3
Very cool! I understand that is how calligraphy can be done as well. Lovely!
Beautiful blog
Amazing blog 😀
Frankly, I like your painting (because of the colour and depth) better than the Paul Klee one.
Whoops! Meant to post that under your reply above.
Thank you Chris! That is very kind to say!
Your paintings are beautiful 🤩
Awesome, I really love these paintings.
Brilliant aesthetics
Beautiful! I love how the bright colors interlock to form a larger picture. I’ve tried my hand at clay sculpture a few times, but for the most part, I come back to writing as my main creative medium.
My gateway drug was poetry… always thought I couldn’t do art but loved it… worked as a model for years before I realised that you can *learn* drawing, it’s not just a natural talent, and started an Art Foundation course at the age of 50. Discovered ceramics… new addiction!
Awesome paintings – I really like the first one!
It’s good to have multiple interests/mode – they will feed off of each other.
All my creative time is currently (for the past x years) funneled into writing. On the rare occasions when I can pull myself away from the words, it’s music. I have a keyboard (self-taught), a guitar (self-taught again) a trumpet (I learned to play around 1966 or so), and a karaoke machine (although in the days when we could still be in physical stores, I didn’t need the machine to sing, much to my family’s embarrassment.)
