There are times when I feel that I am going to lose it. I know that everyone feels that way sometimes. I try now to use my art as therapy. Instead of lashing out at loved ones or crying in my bedroom (which I just DONT do!), I have started to pick up a paint brush or a pencil and create something that is driven by whatever it is that is bringing me down.
I did this hand drawn lettering last week when I was feeling that I had absolutely no one to count on. At work, at home...I was drowning and it seemed that everyone around me was either too busy with their own priorities to help with the tasks of daily life or they just didn't care. I was trapped and suffocating. Sometimes my head goes to the worst thoughts and I almost created a depressing woe-is-me painting on this particular day. But I decided to turn it around and try to give it an uplifting, inspiring twist.
When there is no hero in sight, I just have to learn to be my own savior.
Now to decide if I keep this piece black and white or add color with muted watercolor...
