So many talented creative people out there. Letting their creativity help them in life. I have been a bureaucrat my whole life, and now when I am retired I spend my time trying to be creative. I am in awe of all the people you meet on youtube, for example, who share their knowledge to help us beginners. Your post is wonderful and a tribute to all creatives. It also gives people like me hope that it is never too late to start being creative.

These are all so incredibly beautiful. As I read the description of the torn paper of the grieving mother, it released something in my heart. Isn't that what art does?

Such beautiful expressions of the creativity that lives in each of us. I enjoyed both the images and the narratives: I’m a fan of words and images living together, supporting each other. A great idea to share our creative projects. Thank you!

I am a friend of Wendi. I love that she was brave enough to bare her soul with this community. Her loss is truly “beyond words.” 💔

To see the world through lights, shadows, colors, patterns, shapes, lines and textures and then to combine these elements in infinite ways to tell a story, to capture a moment in time, or to convey an emotion is truly an incredible gift. I do not possess that capacity, but my life is constantly enriched by those of you who do. Thank you, Susan, for creating this online gallery, and thank you, Quiet Life community artists, for inviting us into your world and sharing your beautiful creations.
