I remembered when I painted this. I was really sick with Lyme disease, and was just starting to become active again after being in bed for 4 months. It was early summer of 2017, and I really haven’t done art for months. And because of that, I wasn’t in my creative mode: I didn’t have any ideas or inspiration. I remember sitting on my porch and just “went for it”. I painted for me…I didn’t think about the outcome. I was aiming for a magical /mythical feel. I think that is how I felt: hope that I will get better. I needed to do something for me. What have you done for yourself after coming out of a dark/hard time??? Don’t forget to take care of you when you are going through tough times
