This is going to be a short on today. I have touched on this thought in my past blogs, but I feel like elaborating today. Another piece of information about myself, I suffer from an anxiety disorder plus I am an empath. Your probably like "What does that mean?" Most people doesn't believe in empathy or have a hard time understanding. A lot of the times people are like "Oh, she's just hypersensitive." Well whatever you believe I know what I live with, and for the most part it isn't all that fun. I have always been the one people were drawn to and would express their problems to me, and they didn't necessarily expect me to help them they just wanted a shoulder to cry. And you're probably thinking why is that so bad, but I absorb peoples energy. I can literally walk into a room and tell you what the people in the room feel. That on top of an anxiety disorder sometimes make my life miserable. Art helps me to release some of that anxiety. Whether it helps me releases the emotions or just gets my mind off of it; I feel better after I paint. I agree with Paul's quote; I don't understand how a person could make art without having an emotional tie. You can tell by looking at the work that there isn't any emotion involved. It has no depth to it. Alright that is all I have to say today on that.
This is my most favorite painting I have done. My Mom called it Dreamworld. I love fairies (I know shocker) I was looking through some pictures of fairies, and decided to do a painting with a bunch of fairies. This one I actually roughly drew it out on my canvas before I started painting it. I am not stupid enough to try to free hand it with a paintbrush. Each section of the main woman's skirt tells a different story. And before anybody asks, no they are not related in anyway. I you remember from one of my early blogs, in my set of acrylic paints I have a metallic silver and gold. Once I finished the painting I went over the moon with the silver and I went over the woman's skin with the gold. You could really tell that I had done anything until I took a picture of it and the flash of the camera really showed up the metallic. This is my most detailed painting so far, but I'm looking forward to making more.
Hope you enjoyed this post. Sorry it was so much shorter than the rest. I will probably expand on this painting later on, but for now have a great day!
