I loved it. It's so inspired and creative, Jessica. Just when I thought "It's done," you would add another step, another layer, thus giving the painting ever more depth and personality. Such great work.

So glad, you are able to take these stressors and work them out through your work. This is a great suggestion for all of us, who may get to feeling low for whatever reason.

The sketch and painting were a great way to allay the fears and feelings. When i feel overwhelmed it sort of forces me to reassess what might need to be changed in my life, even temporarily. One small change can lift a big weight.

No wonder those doors were freaking you out with their heavy expectations. You are so talented and it's hard to juggle it all. Thank goodness you have your yoga and huge network of friends to help you through.

I love that you took your disrupting thoughts to paper as you were feeling them. You gave them another home, then released them by covering the doors and adding the light of the windows. I always thought this kind of art making is so cathartic. And I have learned to take my issues to a journal page-even if it ends up getting covered completely.Thanks for sharing such personal thoughts and your videoLinda Kunsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00569703961551672145noreply@blogger.com
