Last week I was having a pretty bad mental breakdown and it had been too long since I painted anything. So I painted this pretty simple scene from a photo I took a few weeks ago. It helped my head tremendously and I am doing much better despite current physical issues…
I mounted it on a wood cradleboard with my DH’s help (my chronically sprained wrist is now in a cast). It is watercolor on paper but then mounted using acrylic medium and then sealed with wax.
This is 6” square.
This is very a very striking image! I love the silhouette of the human-made stuff and bird against the sort of moody sky.
Lovely painting. I’m so glad you were able to paint and have that time for yourself. Art is my therapy and when I go too long without making something, I can definitely feel it!
SO pretty. It looks like a photograph!
I like the scenery and the feel of it.
So glad to hear that you found some creative outlet. Art is definitely my therapy, too.
Sorry to hear you have been struggling. But I’m glad this lovely painting helped!
I hope your wrist will heal up soon. You’ve been dealing with it for a really long time. I’m sure it’s wearing on you- I’d be losing it just from that…!
Thank you everyone! I really love how this turned out.
(Typing is so difficult right now so I’m doing a lot of copy paste)
What a great silhouette!
I have some physical issues that limit my activities at times. During those times, I find it very helpful to use the microphone feature on my phone so I can just talk instead of having to type a message out.
Beautiful!
