☆ Lonely [Illustration Friday]

Tweet

She is so interesting for me. She didn't start out as a response to this weeks prompt for illustration friday, but she definitely fits the bill. To me she looks lost and alone, so sad. It makes me wonder where I was when I painted her. (And considering it was only last week, I am slightly alarmed!) But maybe I was processing some emotion that I was unaware of.

I am constantly amazed that when I paint in my journals, if I don't had an initial concept, what comes out of the deepest parts of my heart.

Sometimes, I sit back and realise I have some stuff going on that was bothering me more than I realised.

Sometimes, like after this painting, there is stuff going on that I am not really conscious of, but the act of painting unconsciously, has processed the emotion for me. And that is that - no need for the therapists couch!

So I wonder how many of us paint unaware? How many of us process our life through our art? And if like me after some time in the studio, you are more balanced and freer?

I would love to hear your stories.

Three Sisters

When you feel lost who do you turn to?

I was thinking today about sisters. My sisters in particular.

A sister who have been with me since birth, sisters who have been with me since our school days, my sisters who have become part of my family through brothers and my recent sisters who have been with me since the birth of Bug.

I what I realised was that these sisters are all the very best of sisters. I know that at every stage of my life they are behind me, supporting me, unconditionally and non -judgementally.

So when I am lost and floundering, my sisters are there.

But sometimes when I am lost I cannot see their support, I cannot feel their hands holding me up.

Sometimes I am just lost.

But eventually I realise they are behind me, beside me and that is the very best of feelings.

So to my sisters - thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am not so lost anymore.
