This might be of interest to only those struggling with a reading and writing disability, like myself. My thoughts on this topic aren’t easy to explain though I’ll try. Recently I noticed when reading my old cursive hand-written notes that my cursive writing was much easier to read than printed...

I think my interpretation might be saying more about me than it is saying about you. Again, never drawing! :)

Nice drawing. However this lady seems a little sad, lethargic and disengaged from her environment, as if to suggest that her environment is the chair. The chair seems to have a strong presence while she seems to be feeling insecure, as if she is only half presence. It seems like she doesn’t...

I recently read on PubMed that when no cardiovascular cause can be found for bradycardia that a brain scan should be taken to rule out any possible brain lesions which might disrupt the communicate between the basal ganglia and cerebellum. I’m beginning to suspect that this might be the cause...

Very imaginative and animated! Here the forms seem to take on an identity of their own. These seem to defy gravity. They seem connected to each other yet with a freedom to move about ...yet, interestingly, they appear as if safely tied together, as if by a cord. The softly rounded dark-gray...

I see two figures ...as if in a gentle loving embrace ...wrapped in a blanket ...with strange little objects appearing as if they were playful surprises. Nice drawing in that it speaks to me!

Unfortunately, ChatGPT would only know what data is entered into it. When I complete survey questionnaires, I’ll often noticed that there is no way possible to provide an accurate answer. For example, I recently answered a survey questionnaire about my last meal - was it high fat, high protein...

This is so very frightening as there's no way of controlling it! I'd suspect that realistic effects differ greatly from cartoon/animations in that, the more unrealistic or symbolic the creation the more likely the viewer would be able to separate fact from fiction. But then there are the neural...

I use to listen to many J.S. Bach fugues. Yes, I'd agree that there's a mathematical element but then, I found myself imagining that I was hearing some of his fugue's repeated voices inside my head. In painting they might refer to this as an 'implied line.' This line or sound really isn't...

At first, I couldn’t understand how Euclidean geometry or more precisely, one’s non-Euclidean imagery might be connected to a trauma experience. …spacial disorientation, out of body distortions, the illogical dream-like fragmentation, the surreal …might these resemble a trauma dissociation...

Wow, this collage is awesome! It's so very up-lifting and it made me smile!

Photos and magazine printed pages cut into various shapes and arranged on paper make a great material for creative self-expression. And yest it's fun! Though magazine pages weren’t easily available anymore nor are they archival, an unglued collage arrangement could still be photographed and...

I’m truly amazed that I’m able to sketch this way using only my imagination. I drew this in about 2001 or 2002 when I was becoming painfully aware of my family’s unkind manipulations. Perhaps this explains my defensive pose …my memory of childhood compliance, if never ending. This sketch I...

I’ve rarely drawn male figures beyond those I’d drawn in life-drawing class. However I think, this mid-1970s drawing of an imaginary male figure might be interesting in comparison to my imaginary female figures drawn during that same era. So, I'm posting both drawings here for comparison plus...

This sketch I drew over 40 years ago and it still seems relevant to me with its many possible interpretations. I was then becoming increasingly aware of my role in society and my struggle with conformity. Rarely have I ever followed the crowd ...there is a loneliness and awkwardness in being...

This group of four female figures I drew in late 1974. This had been an extremely stressful year for me. During that time, I’d abandoned my efforts in establishing a social life thus, I’d stopped dating. My T then said I was regressing and prescribed Elavil, after being off anti-depressants for...

Both of these sketches, I’d dawn during the mid 1970s. I was then mostly living alone at home and struggling with a deep depression, insomnia and unexplainable panic attacks while on Elavil. However, my T was then telling me that I was fine and that my talk therapy had become supportive. I’d...

Thanks for introducing me to Paula Rego - her artwork is awesome! Yes, I can see a resemblance in the way that she posed her figures with subtle distortions. Many have told me my style resembles Picasso. Yet, I suspect that my simplistic, cubic style is due to the fact that my visual imagery...

In 1982, I drew this female nude from my imagination. The pictorial space is highly compressed, as if almost claustrophobic, though I’m not claustrophobic. Her strong massive arms and legs seem placed as if, a fortress blocking out the outside world. She holds her head safely away from her...

This pastel, titled “Horse Hug,” I’d drawn from my imagination in 1987. My horse was then 26 years old. And although I’d owned him since he was a colt, it wasn’t until his stable-mate died that I became aware of his grieving and depth of feeling. They had been stabled together for 20 years and...

Our artwork has this ability to express and communicate what we've felt and experienced beyond both the spoken and written word. Yet you've described my experience extremely well.

OliveJewel, your artwork titled, “Inside the tree trunk” I find very uplifting! This piece gave me the impression of feeling safely enclosed within a densely populated field of young tree saplings. I had often ridden my horse through such dense woodlands years ago - a profoundly beautiful...

This pastel was created from my imagination in 1990. I didn’t give it much thought at the time and so, I can’t really explain it. I suspect that the reclining female body might be how I felt about myself in my emotionally abusive and neglectful relationship with my father. If this was me...

It’s interesting in the way that different artists visually perceive and record their internal visual experiences onto paper or canvas. Apparently the artist must filter out much of what is visually perceiving as this vast amount of information is just too much to process. So I suspect, I will...

You might wear a smartwatch to record your bpm readings 24/7. These ongoing reports might be reviewed online by your doctors. I'm now using a Fitbit smartwatch which is supposedly very good at recording my bpm readings. My bradycardia average is now 51 bpm at rest. This was first diagnosed 5...
