That said, I'm looking to my own 'vacation' with a personal goal: a summer with the smallest carbon footprint possible. One way I plan to achieve this is to stay home and focus on quiet pursuits. Things like writing poetry, tending my gardens, and painting. I want to cultivate an appreciation for the abundance I have been given.I used to paint a lot. I have some amazing watercolor paintings that I executed back in the early 1990's that I honestly can hardly even imagine were done by me.
Here's a lame first attempt to work in the medium again. Sad, but not devoid of all potential....time will tell.

Maybe you're just trying to be humble but I think it is kind of nasty of you to say the painting is lame. If somebody else had painted it would you be so mean? Maybe you would...
I think the word 'lame' is a value judgement and not very helpful when experiencing someone's creative effort. I believe in critique (I have a great relationship with my own inner critic) but I think critique is helpful when it is specific. A sweeping "lame" tends to cut off rather than encourage learning and progress.
I don't like the choices offered for making a comment here. So I pick Anonymous but I tell you in this note that I have written to you via Facebook already. I am Carole.
