Digital art, the flip side.....

Last week, I was upset because an elderly, traditional artist got nasty about drawing on my iPad.

Yesterday, I experienced the opposite.

A woman who shows signs of Alzheimer's (she shyly confided in me that she suspects that is her problem), and a 95 year old who is just plain bored, sat on either side of me as I drew on my iPad in the lounge. Both of these ladies are chatter boxes. For almost an hour, they were transfixed as I zoomed around on my iPad.

As time went on, I asked them for suggestions. Both offered input that I incorporated into the drawing. They were delighted.

As a society, we have conquered the problems of health, nutrition, housing, mobility, and loneliness.

Boredom needs to be next. Some of us learned early on to entertain ourselves. Some people did not.
