It is true that art-making can be so personal that we feel like we are flaying ourselves open for "observation"...but you (rightly) feel you are being healed by the undertaking of art --& it is much to your credit that you choose to share this in the exhibit as well as here--You don't know who you might reach with your words and painting. Someone may feel uplifted by your efforts...and just think of the positive contribution you are making to someone who will find courage in your words and painting to help them along with THEIR decision making. It's really a great thing to be an artist.Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765631622553247399.post-40123632040317570072010-02-07T21:00:15.345-08:002010-02-07T21:00:15.345-08:00I agree this is a powerful piece and the way you d...I agree this is a powerful piece and the way you describe it makes it ever more so. <br />The rest of your life begins every day and I know from your site that you are strong of spirit and will persevere.
