Hi ,

Welcome to 2025! For me, this year marks a big change. I’m currently in the queue for a hip replacement, which means I’ve had to shift my focus entirely online. While hobbling around with a walker isn’t ideal, it’s given me the push to fully embrace sharing the joy of collaborative art in a new way.
 

My main goals this year are:
1️⃣ Finishing several eBooks to help you easily create stunning artworks with your friends and family.
2️⃣ Growing “Painting Around is FUN!” by sharing weekly articles packed with inspiration, tips, and project ideas.
 

Would you believe I’ve already published over 30 articles since launching on June 20th? My very first article drew 42 visitors that month—an exciting start, considering my website then was only 3 pages!
 

Now, I’m averaging 75 visitors a month, with a record high of 144 after opening my online shop. It’s been amazing to see this little community grow, and I’m so grateful for your support along the way.

My first article, which updates the 'Hello World' blog:

Hello World! Welcome to Painting Around is FUN!

Here’s to more creativity, connection, and colour in the year ahead! Keep an eye out for my upcoming eBooks and new weekly emails.
 
Cheers,
Charndra

Founder, Painting Around is FUN!
