Grandmother Creates Beautiful Paintings During Long Hospital Stay
Talk about making the best out of a bad situation.
Jill Sobocinski posted this photo of her grandmother, Joan Holland, 83, on Twitter earlier this week to show how she's spending her free time during an extended stay at a New Jersey hospital.
Holland has made 15 paintings using Paint By Numbers.
