Painting therapy
As many of you know, I have been through the most traumatic time of my life this last week or so. My son is home now and I feel so blessed to have him home with is young family. It continues to be a very worrying time and i believe it will be like this for a long time. Today I have spent time at home alone and apart from cooking i wanted to try and channel myself into something creative and therapuetic. I felt the need to paint and no direction other than where the paint would take me. I chose mixes of watercolours and a little of acrylics and painted these two small paintings on watercolour paper.
I found it very calming and felt good that i decided to fight myself against not having anything creative in my mind to start with and just let the brush and the paint do their own thing.
Anyway here is the result.

June, these works are really gorgeous in their designs and colors. I especially like the light and dark contrasts of the top one, and I like the color combination in the bottom one.
I'm happy your son is home and will say a prayer for his complete recovery.
