Once I began learning how to channel heavy emotions into the paintings, I began to tackle
events that I had avoided.
By making the painting, I had to concentrate and
so face these sad experiences, and am trying to project them in a way, that while only of any symbolism to me.....completly
represents that sad time, in a vivid but imaginary setting, contrasted by beauty,it finds actualization.
And after I finish the painting,the sad memory is no longer in my head....and sure I look at it everyday,
but the thoughts have changed to acceptance and closure....
Maybe this could
work for you.
We all have had traumatic experiences, and many of them leave
scars, if they don't outright destroy us...and you can't help how much it decides to occupy your mind.....
Maybe a visualization will present closure, or a more accepting or the putting to rest of that memory.
and then move on...it's been immortallized...it can be let go.
Email the relatively
brief, but detailed account of the event, be sure to list things such as time of year, favorite colors, what may symbolize
a particular person involved in this event....and maybe I could turn this into a painting, maybe not one that you would like
to buy.
When I first came up with this idea, I thought..."Gee...aint that stupid".......but
it's talking about, and writing about, and opening up about these events that helps bring about closure and heal wounds.....
Obviously no obligation to buy, if it gets painted, nor is it even an obligation to be liked....but
think about it!
