My last two therapists told me to paint about my feelings. Which is stupid. I make real art, not therapy crafts.
When it came time for my exhibition, I decided to make paintings of people that are about painting people as a way to beat my inhibitions regarding painting people. In the painting world, unrelenting self-awareness is considered sophisticated and respectable. While I was working on my show, I spent my free time painting for fun. By “for fun,” I mean “to satisfy the deep, unresolved yearnings of my soul through an exhausting process resulting in the beginning of closure and healing.” I learned to cry, pray, and express the sympathy I have always had for those who are close to me. (Thanks God.)
So yes, I am painting my feelings. But I am painting my feelings particularly well.
