Yes, We were both having a bad day. Lots of emotions flowing thru me.Worry, upset more worry.... so I painted it. I wet each circle and just added color and put my feelings down. The feelings lifted,but when I stopped painting, I then could see them. I did them in a circle because I have always admired mandalas and thought this would be an expression of one. I do like the paintings. What do you think?? Do you ever paint exactly how you feel with your emotions guiding your brush?? Today is better but I will do this again. love to each of you,Diana

Painting Emotions

Sending you a hug, hope everything is OK. Looks like Sadie needs a new bed.
ReplyDeleteI love your "mandalas"--they are so liquid, translucent; they look like some kind of life form!
ReplyDeleteI hope all your worries are soon gone!
Oh dear, Diana...I do so hope today is better for you and that whatever is worrying you works itself out! I see Sadie lost a good chunk of her bed. Sigh...my dogs do that type of thing too. I do like the mandalas.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, Diana. Prayers you feel better today.
ReplyDeleteSadie with something to say isn't pretty.
Well I think this is exquisite Diana! Stunning in fact!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's nothing too serious going on. Big hugs from me and Sherlock :0)
I sure do hope you are ok, and Sadie too. I love the painting. Please take care....
ReplyDeleteVery ethereal... I never thought of putting my pain down like that... very healing I am sure
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to paint those emotions, getting them outside - lovely work and a bit stormy with a bright white center. Hope you are less stressed today. Big (HUG).
