Creative Relaxation: Unwinding Through Painting and Framing

I enjoy creating artwork using paint-by-numbers kits. It’s a relaxing hobby. The process takes patience, but I find it both calming and satisfying. Seeing a piece come to life, and knowing the hours were well spent, makes the finished work especially meaningful. I also build my own frames, which adds another creative touch before finding just the right spot to hang each piece. The painting of our cats Pepper and Zazu was a custom kit created from a photograph I submitted.
