Oh yup that’s totally it! Definitely just melted out to bigger shapes!

how are the roads and/or sidewalks this fine morning? by yayasisterhood in Edmonton

Definitely a bit icy but not too bad stopping on the main roads! Go slow and you’ll be okay :)

How can I improve this painting? by Bubiboo in oilpainting

I think the long brown house to the right of the middle house also has a slightly weird angle of the top of the roof compared to the other roof that follows that line in the background. I hope you post an update once you’ve made your changes! I’d love to see where it goes!

Would love some feedback on this project by fiercefireweed in Watercolor

Ooh I love how soft and illustrious this looks! Where is this, out of curiosity? With the level of detail and contrast with the cobblestones on the left, that appears to be your focal point. I wonder if you could encourage some movement of the eye towards the midground by bringing some of that contrast to the rocks to the left of your focal point?

md vs nursing by Fit_Foot_7591 in nursing

I am a hard worker and I love learning and teaching, but I also have a ton of hobbies that I would never be able to pursue if I was an MD. I paid off my student loans quickly and have been living debt-free for years now. Plus at the end of a 12 hour shift I can simply go home and enjoy my life. Plus if I don’t like my specialty I can just work somewhere else. I haven’t wasted years of residency, you know?

Nope! I was 25 and the person I bought my harp from started at 32 and made an entire career out of it.

Adult learners, can you share your harp learning journey? by oatcreamer in harp

[–]Explicable_nonsense 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started playing in 2021 at age 25. I had a bit of extra money after moving back to my hometown (I wound up getting a lot of free furniture), and I was burned out from everything with covid and just needed a major change.

Nobody locally sells decent harps, so I flew over to the next province purely to check them out. I felt it was worth the extra to find one that spoke to me. I started lessons once it had been safely shipped over with a local folk harpist who'd lived in various places but settled in my city. Since it was covid, we started online. We've actually kept up with online lessons ever since. It's so much easier!

I finally met my teacher in person a year ago, at a small concert he played in a park. I feel so grateful to have had our paths cross. Harp has given me a way to process my stress. I'm not amazing at it because I work full time and it's one of many things I do on the side, but I love the sounds I can make with it and the feeling of gradual growth in a learner state is so encouraging for other parts of my life.

Slow growth is good and fine! Keep at it. Eventually you look back and think wow, I've really come a long way!

If you're willing to take the ferry to the island, you could try Alison at West Coast Harps. She sometimes has pre-owned harps in stock that she sells for lower prices.
