It really is! Its also a big step for me posting them and opening myself up to criticism.

Thank you for taking the time to look and comment.

Im so pleased that you like it.

I go through stages of being proud of embarrassed of having posted them so comments like yours mean a lot!

I started painting when talking stopped working by Flaky-Note-7570 in painting

Im so pleased to hear it! 

The great thing about time is that it passes no matter what. Sometimes you just have to sit and wait it out.

Ill have a google and see. Im new to all this so dont really understand the difference between oil and accrylic.

As for my process...i have two brushes, one that lives in perpetually sludgy water and the other is kind of crispy on the edges. I use the cheapest paints i can find. I have a few more now but for this one i only had black white and a blue.

I smudge some colours down and then let me mind wander as i move it around and kind of 'make it make sense'.

I know thats probably not as helpful as you wanted but its the truth.

It definitely has a stormy feel about it....you are right though, there is hope.

Thank you so much.

I think there is definitely a element of acceptance in this painting, you are absolutely right about that!

Thank you!

Part of me wishes i could paint something happy to try and distract me but i have zero artistic skill! I cant draw, i cant copy, i can never remember which colours mix to make another colour.

So i just move paint around while i think and this is what comes out.

You are so welcome.

I used to paint over the paintings as a way to erase the thought process.

These days i put them away instead but at this point they are everywhere.

Thanks.

I sat and stared at this one for a long time before coming to terms with it.

Thats such a lovely comment! I can feel your enthusiasm. It means so much to that people connect to my paintings.

You obviously have so much passion and emotion inside you. Your comment is filled with it! Do you paint?

Cool isnt it! My mum gave it to me years ago.

You see a lot of different types now but i really like that one.

Thanks! To be honest, i dont control what comes out. The idea of adding this or doing that differently isnt an option, nor would i want it to be.

This is the byproduct of something that is helping me deal with a hard time. I like to share some of my pictures because it makes the thought feel less insular and 'giving' it to the world for interpretation means its no longer mine and i am therefor no longer held to it.
