hopefully the picture will come out. Since leaving I have been actively pursuing my art which I had neglected whilst in the organisation due to time pressure and the fact that it was seen as a vanity.
Last year I exhibited for the first time, got one of my pictures on a book cover, had works taken in by a local shop and have started to build a reputation as a wildlife artist. I wish that I had started this sooner but I am so proud of where I am so far. Time is too precious to waste time on things that add no value to life I am so happy that I can try this however late it comes.

Good for you, I am an artist myself and I was the recipient of hurtful, ignorant comments and snide remarks about art. Many bros and sis' s genuinely believed abstract art in particular was demonic 😕 -

Thank you for your comments. JWs are encouraged to be task focused and anything that they do not understand or does not contribute to the task is devalued.
It is such a shame that so many talented people are squashed within the organisation.
