Flow

I drew the center of this piece first, the area that looks like an eye. With all the worries and concerns about my mother's health, healing, and care, I prayed. And I initially drew that thinking I would make that into an all-seeing eye of God kind of thing.  But when I drew in the eye, it looked more creepy than anything else. So, I thought I'd make it into something more comforting than creepy.

Again, I couldn't fall asleep, and I drew the wavy lines that came to mind. The flowing lines reminded me of a flow of water, the flow of life, etc., that all things, good or bad, come and go. And the colors I chose were the colors that drew me in at the time, with worries and fear crowding my mind. When I finished and looked back, I was happy to note that it turned out brighter than I expected.

Another interesting about myself, my favorite colors are green and blue. But the first two colors I use on each of my drawings are sunflower yellow/golden yellow and orange.

I can't say enough how much better I feel each time I finish one of these drawings. Sometimes it takes me an hour or two. Sometimes it takes me more than 10 hours, almost 20 hours. But my goal is not to finish, but to find some kind of healing through the drawing process.

Why don't you give it a try? Anything will do.
