Vein, a drawing challenge
Inside I have weak veins. The thin, blue lines lie shallow under my skin. Each time someone needs to draw some blood I become the human pincushion as one vein after another collapses under the pressure. It’s OK, I’m used to it. I breathe deeply and focus on the moment when it’s all over. It takes ages!
Inside I have strong veins. The rich, crimson of my creativity runs heavy and deep. Each time I pick up the camera, a pencil, my brushes, these veins take over, command my hands and stay strong under pressure. I’m hardly aware that I’m breathing, Time stands still.
Come follow this beautiful vein of creativity to: Ariane, Lisa, Tammie, Renilde, Nadine, Katrin, Eric, Kim, Marian, Roberto, Sharmon, Sabine, and maybe Patrice and Annton.
And Katrin is our host for next weekend, Feb 28th, March 1st with Birthday Cake!
Art: Mixed media painting, collaged paper, acrylics, oils, inks, a few vintage postage stamps

awesome collage and i would hope by now the phlebotomist would know to use the butterfly needle … i know about this ’cause my mom had the worst time having blood drawn …
Veronica
I’ve had one or two successful phlebs get it on the first try (that’s a success rate of about 5%). Usually it was because they work with mom and were shaking in their boots. 😀

“your veins take over and command your hands!”
Good thing!
And I realize that it is good that way. because your art is excellent!
