I painted last night. This is
the first time I've worked on something BIG since the fall. It felt
weird, pushing the paint around. I had no idea where I was going with
it or even what colors I wanted to use. I put on some music to
help me move through it and not get blocked. I was playing something
nice and sweet, like Lorenna Mckennitt and then when that CD finished,
one of Conner's started playing- Pink Floyd's The Wall. It seemed to
match my mood much better and I actually got more into my painting and
started following it down a dark and moody path, letting my emotions
flow freely onto the canvas. Felt really GOOD. I painted a really
powerful layer last night and am looking forward to adding to it today.
Art is my greatest therapist and I rely heavily on it, to get me
through dark times.
