Another day has gone by and I didn’t do any abstract work today! I sat and did two paintings as per usual, but they turned out to be cute little chibi style characters. I will post those soon. I think they’re cute. I just go with the flow with my art.
I have been in such a strange mood lately, the only thing that helps is painting. Last night I had already gotten into bed after a lovely night of Doctor Who and out of nowhere all my past regrets and the truth of illness in my family just came crumbling down on me. In that moment, holding in my sobs I knew I had to paint, I needed to get this emotion out. Alas I didn’t have anything to paint with and all my stuff was outside, locked away. I was faced with the dilemma of trying to drag myself from bed, stop wallowing, unlocking everything and going outside to get my things! (My studio is outside…) All of that just sounded like a hassle and I rather watched a youtube video of one of my favorite artists. Close enough.
The point is, even just watching the flow of paint was enough to calm me down. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Anyway, I do realise just how random this post is but I wanted to write it down. It seemed relevant.
I’ll post those pictures now.
Feel free to let me know what calms you down when the heaviness of the world falls on you.
Until next time.
Namaste.
