Sharing: And now I draw in colour.

Laina Eartharcher

Oh my goodness, the artwork!  It’s incredible.  This is a post by one of the first few bloggers I met when I had first discovered my spot on the Asperger’s/autism spectrum, and both her writing and her art are phenomenal!  Please, do check out her blog 💙💜💙

The Misadventures of Mama Pineapple

I’m a little sporadic with my blog posts at the moment. Things have been busy.

We’re approaching Christmas, it’s the end of a long and very difficult term at work, the kids are full-on, I’m tired, and whatnot. And the truth is, the past few months have been somewhat dark. That happens sometimes.

But something else has happened.

I’ve been drawing. More, and more, and more.

I love to write. But my occasional brain-body disconnect means that no matter how adept I am with words, I can’t always summon them to the fore. Images flow from my mind to my hand to the paper far more readily.

Since I wrote my lament at the loss of my one true passion, I’ve been reclaiming it. And the funny thing is, even as my days have sometimes been very dark so far this autumn and winter, my drawings have been vividly…

    1. I’m doing pretty good these days, even if I am moving a bit slower. My energy has gone down a lot since this time last year, but I do get my good spurts 😁👍🏼. I have your email, right? 💓. If not, I’ll contact you through your blog and if I can’t, can I trouble you to contact me through mine so that I have it? 😍❣💟🌺💕

    1. Thank you, Anna! Please don’t worry, my friend; I’m right there with you; I haven’t been on WP much lately, either 😘. I know I was only gone for a week, over the New Year, but dang, it seems like I’m still playing catchup and haven’t caught up yet! Lol 😳😂. Thank you so much for reading when you do have the time, girl! I really appreciate it 😘👍🏼💞

        1. Awww thank you! That means a lot coming from you; yours is awesome!! I find myself giggling with a lot of what you’ve said, especially some of the posts I found around the late summer or early fall (?). You’ve got an excellent wit about you 😁👍🏼💗

    1. Howdy! Please forgive me; I’m working backward through the comments in WP limbo 😉 That’s so cool that you’re an artist! Art is a sort-of-“special interest” of mine; I find that both creating my own and appreciating others’ is amazingly calming, like an emotional satiety, like something that hits the spot. I’m looking forward to seeing yours! 😁💙

        1. Omg yes 👏🏼👏🏼 I love abstract and native/primitive art too 😁 Native American art, especially from the southwest, really sings to me 😍 And surreal and darker surreal, etc. Digital art is really nice too! Impressionism is amazing as well. Also anything with bright, well-combined colors. I collect various images and save them to my computer lol 😉💗
