This Encaustic painting is the only thing getting me through the day right now. It's been one of those days; where nothing seems to go right, my patience is running so very low, and it seems that everything has a large dark cloud above it.But I keep trying to remember my art-making fun I had a few days ago when I created this painting that I am so very in love with right now. Is it bad to say that about your art? I make plenty of things that I am not in love with. But I had a definite image of what I wanted in my head, and this is what happened - it came out like I envisioned. yay!
This is another one that I was working on and finished this week. It's blue, so it fits my mood today, but I still cheer up when I see it. I have to keep remembering how everything seemed to flow so smoothly during this time and try to harness that now.My wonderful husband even forced me to leave the house last night have go out for some "me" time to help my current mood. And it did help so very much last night. But that was last night. And today is now. And it doesn't seem to have done the job for today. So, I'm just gonna sit here and enjoy what does make me happy for the time being....and until I have to make dinner.

Wow - I love that top painting, too. Well, they're both nice, but there's just something about that one.
"Me" time is definitely good when things get down... you could also try some vitamin supplements. Sometimes it's just a matter of vitamin count being down. It may sound silly, but often that is the case for me, anyway.
Another thing that can help is just sitting and writing stuff out for a while. Getting it out. And then going for a nature walk to let better stuff in.
I really hope you feel better soon.
whoa.. pick me pick me! i soo love your art.. flow .. for me i want more admissions of vulnerability.. that sweet spot of self where i get to see who i really am.. and i want others to share theirs with me with the understanding that it is okay to just be real.. the world cannot be so hard sometimes and the learned mind says to just shove it all in and call it courage.. where is the courage in that?.. what about community.. what about listening and compassion eh.. screw drugs or alcohol baby give me a hug... what about telling the truth about each other.. all the good things and let the rest fall away.. acceptance.. that world out there wants people to breakdown cuz it makes it easier to control the mind via the emotions.. i wanna see us all breakthrough.. shake em all up.. re-connect to the real powers of the universe.. i think we have just been waiting on US... i wanna see everyone playing with their food
this is so refreshing..
