Hi Starrlight, I'm glad you use painting as a release.

What do you see when you look at that picture??

I'll tell you what I see. It's the first interpretation of artwork

that usually tells a story. :) xx

For me, I began it with free flying birds and saw a heart I did not intend but I liked it then I added a moon and connected by adding extra lines as I really like to paint.

I like your concept of your painting. After all who knows more than

the artist herself. :) xx

This is what I saw Starrlight when first seeing your painting.

To me I saw your inner most emotions. Rough around the edges

at first but as you got to the inner core of yourself *your heart, I

see that you found yourself. Protected in this inner circle of peace

and calm within your heart and mind.

What you think is what you get and in these case, what you paint is

what you feel. Great job :) xx

I love how you describe what you see there, Agora. Yes in the smooth curves and rough brushstrokes I am contemplating contrast in my mood and tying to understand it all yes it is my innermost emotion and I have found myself again deep down yes!!! Yup freedom to feel peace and create from my heart .

OMG!!!!!!!! Your painting is amazing...awesome...inspiring!!! I love your use of black and white. The hearts that begin in the center and radiate out...I see many seagulls that give your painting an expression of...I think I see fear. I love the way the waves are positions...not calm but in keeping with the entire painting. I see the back bones of what I see as dinosaurs...and the creativity of painting what is behind your easel..the umbrella, the vertical blinds and the two small paintings framed in white just about your easel..the object behind the vertical blinds looks similar to a whale in motion.

AWESOME PAINTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm marvel at your fortitude and inner-strength at successfully pushing through the depression and anxiety to create such a painting. You are so very talented!!!!

So happy to know you're feeling somewhat better, even ever so slightly.

I tip my hat to you!!!!

Thank you for sharing, Starrlight.
