My picture today was more of a way to release some anger. I had two friends call me today both with family issues to release. Both have legitimate complaints, frustrations and anger surrounding these family members. And of course, any way someone is feeling is legitimate as those feelings belong to them. As I listened, I was reminded that we all, at various times, have frustrations with family members especially this time of year. I reflected on these two friends’ stories and the high level of frustration both were experiencing. We all have these times when we feel helpless, angry and manipulated. So today, I felt like putting what that looks like for me on canvas. I tipped over my easel as I jabbed the paint onto the paper! It was deliciously fun and I managed my anger!
