A couple of months ago,I started a painting.Something was off about it,so I stopped. I wasn’t into the painting.Plus,my mood was off as well.
It wasn’t until a couple of days ago.I decided to pick up the canvas and start painting. Which only took me maybe two to three days to paint.Another mistake that I have made is to take a before picture. I can only show you the after.
Painting has become my outlet. Painting helps me express my feelings.
Ever since,I started painting I haven’t seemed to put my now many paint brushes down.I never thought in a million years that I could paint. Especially ,the way I do.
It is like I am constantly having an outer body experience. There are times when I say,” Did I actually paint this?”.My paintings have evolved since I started in September.I have done over 41 paintings so far.I sold one of my paintings,which is pretty exciting! I still have lack of confidence in myself that people what to buy my artwork.
I had two paintings that I started.At first,I wasn’t into them and I stopped.I was getting frustrated.
So, today on my day off.I went to my job and gotten some more brushes. Plus, white paint ,because I use the paint cover the canvas.Especially, when I am not into the painting.
This particular painting ,I really enjoyed working on. It is more of an Autumn type theme.
I am finally finished my painting…I am pretty happy with the results..
I am glad that I waited for daylight to finish it.I also noticed that my stress level is going down.
This from last night before I lost daylight.I thought the painting needed something
As you can see it looked so plain without any scenery.
This a painting that I did tonight…while I decide what to add to the other painting.
This was just on the first try.Mind you,I never took an art lesson or any type of art school in my life.
I just feel blessed that I was given this gift to paint.
Last night ,I started painting the one mountain scape.I never took art lessons in my life.
I decided to add more it ,because it looked to plain…
Still not finished yet.I am waiting for day light to work more on it
Today started as a semi normal day at work…it was very busy
After work,I did some shopping and got more canvas and paints.I decided to watch some Bob Ross..
Then it hit me…my inspiration…I decided on a different type of painting.I am not a landscape type of person,but I am trying…
It isn’t done yet…I have to get more colors and different brushes.Not bad for a first try.
I created some new art work…Now,I am kind of bummed.I ran out of canvas to paint on.
It helps me relax when I am stressed out. There is no wrong or right way to paint.
I just go with the flow and be me.When I don’t feel like sewing this helps me to be creative.
It has been a very long time, since I posted anything.I have been working the whole time during this covid situation.
I have been dealing with depression.That is me still grieving since my Dad passed a year ago. I am stressing because trying to rent a house.Plus worrying about my Mom with her personal issues.
I decided to paint a picture for my oldest daughter for her birthday.
I noticed it helps me relax a little bit.So,today I decided to make this for my youngest daughter.
Remember when I said that I had no desire to sew…Guess who’s sewing …I am!! Since there a virus outbreak.I started making masks for my family
I guess this the best therapy ever.It is helping me get through my feelings.I got some help from my oldest daughter.
