When painting “journey” and “paint pain” I was pretty much having a bad year health wise, my condition wasn’t under control and it took 2011 and a new medication to get me back on my feet. I was with Zap for Journey he did a piece that isn’t in my close up I felt pretty average and felt like my piece got lost. For paint pain I was an old friend Snow who also has some mental health issues and he did a piece next to it also not pictured. I was actually quite unwell and felt terrible. It was good to paint but I felt so bad about doing a piece that was so effected. Now when I look at it I rather like it but remember how I felt and wouldn’t want to go through that again. The pieces are like a diary in a way recording states of mind as much as being an image to look at. I don’t feel as hung up about my illness anymore and I am quite well at the moment so I feel like I could do more like these. Possibly today I will be painting a bit later, I think I will do something old school, brainless but satisfying.
