Painting is much more than therapy to me its a way of life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think therapy interferes with the creative process. It takes off the edge.
I don't have to lay on the couch and see a therapist because my therapist is in my paint brushes.
Painting, for me, is a dynamic balance and wholeness of life; it is mysterious and transcending, yet solid and real.
I've always loved painting, although I never show anyone what I've done. Mainly because I don't do it well. But it's like a form of visual diary for me. A way of fixing things in my mind.
Painting is a hobby for me.
Painting is a coalescing of experience.
For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh.
Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.
But painting can be too lonely... I like being with people too much to have ever made that my life's work.
Painting is not what my life is about, but it is very important to me, and I am very lucky to be able to give some time to it.
