What I do for fun in my free time

While free time is often hard to come by within my constantly buzzing life, when I do have time to enjoy myself I like to paint.    When faced with the inevitable feeling of boredoom I often feel the need to be creative.  I wander down to my basement and open up the door to my mom's art studio.  Within it contains art supplies galore.  Paintings hang on the walls, lay on the floor, and are strewn about the room.  Glitter is everywhere as I search through the pile and pull out a blank canvas.  Should I paint water color? Or should I use acrylics, maybe charcoal or tempera.  I pull three tubes of acrylic out of the bin and pluck a paintbrush from the can.  With my paintbrush and paints in one hand and my canvas in the other I make my way into the backyard and sit next to the lilac bush.  I paint the lilacs, making soft brush strokes, mixing whites, purples and blues to create dimension and shading.  The painting takes an abstract turn, as I turn the lilac bush into a purple monster.  It seems to pass the time quite sufficently as it helps me to focus and appreciate the things that go unseen in life.
