Very often I do a simple search on wikiart.org! I also look on Wikimedia Commons, and there's also a lovely website called Simple Joy Art: https://www.simplejoyart.com/
Cross-stitch does this for me, as well as rehearsals/performances with my local improv troupe. It’s so good for me to do something that requires persistent present attention!
I used to love cross-stitching... A woman in my parish is creating a needlepoint guild in the new year and I think I may join — I've long wanted to learn that craft.
In a fear-fueled world, thank you for this much-needed reminder that it's not only ok, but a sacred act, to step away from "it all" to rest and play. 🦋
This is SUCH a great distinction, Tsh. So much of the time, Sabbath seems to be presented in the context of relaxation, often geared toward a curated aesthetic. I've always liked the idea of Sabbath practices focusing on recreation - on taking a break from our usual work, but not necessarily being idle (though I do love a good nap).
Thanks for this reminder!!😊
Yeah, this is what we're yearning for. And none of it will be found with a phone attached to our hand ...
Where do you find all of your beautiful art? I’m looking to purchase a coffee table art book and don’t know where to start.

I use a lot of classical art in my humanities class, and when I'm doing research I often use Obelisk's Art History Project: https://www.arthistoryproject.com/discover-artwork/
Hope this helps!
Thanks, it does!
Thanks for the reminder. I have been thinking of doing coloring with my 101 year old mom who still likes to draw and paint
Oh, please do! And if you do, I'd love to hear how it goes.
Did coloring with my 101 year old mom who lives in a nursing home. She loved to draw and she still loves to color. She spent hours on a project.

Absolutely! I think every one of us needs it more often.
My favorite place to play is in my kitchen. New ingredients, new recipes tried and created on my own.
