A different post from usual, I haven’t been posting
and looking at your work because life gets in the way sometimes and you don’t know
how to deal with the problems. Sometimes
it can be quite paralyzing. I can’t
talk about what is going on, but I can tell you how I deal with such
situations.
The situation has made me angry, not at a person, just
how life unravels itself for some people.
Anger can eat away if you don’t deal with it. One of the ways I deal with it is to paint
about things that are not close to me.
Over the last two weeks I have focused on the situation in the 3rd
World and produced for me political works.
This is an oil mixed media piece on hardboard 30in x
30in. The girl is a coloured pencil drawing
I got out of a magazine. The pages are
from a book on the colonization of Melanesia.
Basically, it is about our world is putting pressure on Third World
Countries with corrupt practices.
This is a wood cut A4 size and it is about the
situation in many African countries, it makes you feel so helpless at times.
So that’s what I have been up to over the last two
weeks, I am a lot calmer now and back to my usual quirky self! Channeling your emotions into art can be so
healing.
Here’s a watercolour I did today I did from a photo I took
last autumn, See I am calm now!
Have a happy Paint Party Friday everyone.
