I Started Painting At 40. One Year In, I Think I Finally Found My Thing
By threshold_guardian2 • September 24, 2026
I started drawing last year at 39 and found my way to oil painting around the time I turned 40.
I had no idea it would become such an important part of my life.
These are a couple of the paintings I’ve made along the way, and the little room where most of it happens.
I spent a long time thinking you were supposed to figure out the important parts of yourself when you were young.
Apparently that’s not always how it works.
