Art, Painting, Drawing - Share Yours

I don't know what kind of moth/butterfly this is but it was on my grape vine in my yard.

I don't know if this is appropriate (if so, you mods can take it down) but one way I deal with the stress from PTSD is through drawing things of my experiences. Translating some of the intrusive memories to paper.

I was run over by a motor cycle. One of my more intrusive memories is the visual of my hands, covered in my own blood, being held in front of me. I'm an amatuer at best, never taken lessons.

If you have any art, post it here. Maybe we could start an image board. :)

I made a few art videos for my diploma presentation which touch on my traumatic history, one describes one of my dissociative states. But I couldnt really share it here. It was hard enough to show them for the professors, but I got one of the best grades at school...

Hi Missionaryman. I appreciated your artwork. There is a thread of pictues you may want to have a peek at, given your interest in imagery and all!

Go to the chit chat section of the forum ... scroll down to a thread called "Pictures for when there are no words for how you feel" (something like that, anyway.). There is quite a variety of pictures ... for every mood under the sun, I think! I have a sense you will like it and perhaps contribute to it also ... ?

Have a healing day! :geek:

I'm an artist. My past is the biggest part of my work. Mostly its graphic and surreal. Been in several art shows, but it gets to the point when people ask where the ideas come from. Then I retreat. I'll for sure look at the art board. :)

My latest cards.

This one was a one I embroidered for my friends 50th birthday...

This is for another friend who turns 50 this week, he's a real footie fan!

 

[CraftyCath]

And this is an anniversary card for friends...

These are wonderful Cath, have you ever thought of making a lot up and selling them. At a car boot sale or a craft fair.

 

[CraftyCath]

I have Amethist but, to be honest, they cost more to make than people are prepared to pay. Folk don't like parting with their money and these would retail at about £3-£4 each.

I'm thinking of getting my paints out again and selling some art work. Also some encostic (wax) art.

Glad you liked them as you'll be getting a hand made one for your birthday next year!

Wow- thanks for sharing all the gorgeous art work. Here's one of mine, just some doodling with marker.
