Self Portrait!

I've been painting.

The swirling colors of red, bronze and baby puke green ooze from their paint tubes and demand display on the canvas. What you see here is the beginning of my self-portrait...

I think that this painting already reflects the zombied, toxic waste kind of feeling that I have bubbling under my skin. I just feel....wasted. Not "drunk wasted"mind you; it's more of a "used up wasted".

I began this self portrait because I desire to give voice and vision to the under current of sorrow and self-loathing that seems to bubble up from within my soul. I am convinced that if I can just expose this part of myself to the light, healing will happen.

So I paint...and you know what?

I already feel better!
