When I get super over stressed I just yeal and swear. my whole family has been trying to get me to stop this since I was about 12 and they have had no luck.
But when I do get myself to sit down with my destiny in hand ( a paint brush) and my life in front of me ( a blank canvas) I am at home. Painting soothes me and I literally forget about time. I sing my favorite songs in my head, I reminisce about my life, and dream about the future.
Especially I love painting suicide girls, I feel like I get to know them a little bit. And seeing their strength and beauty inspires me. This is a painting of @hexe im working on. It's going to be done soon I can't wait! Suicide girls are my favorite subjects!
It is a meditation for me. And the paintings are somewhat planned but I also like to leave some room for spontaneously doing things, and when I do this I am always surprised at the end. The painting will look better then I expected if I work with this balance.
And then there is the reward of letting people see how I see things.
