Art Thread

I've been playing with the idea of anti perfection watercolour, found via an artist online whose style I love and shes started doing online tutorials. First go today, I like the 'sod it' attitude to all the normal rules. View attachment 64663
Very uplifting to my spirit, joyful in its feeling and expression! Makes me smile! I was thinking about art one day when I then realized that the energy and feeling that I experience when looking at art actually comes from within myself. The artwork when observed enables me to experience my own feelings. Music does the same thing ...very cool!

This artwork reminds me of a group of people socially mingling with warmth and excitement …not fearful, nor guarded nor withdrawn, as I’ve often experienced in social situations. Gives me a nice feeling!
 
When I had drawn this piece, a few months after my brain tumor resection in 2018 - I wasn’t pleased with it at all. I then saw it as only my failed attempt at drawing a more realistic figure. What had actually transpired was much softer, moody and atmospheric.
Disassociation kicking in, in unexpected ways? Or side effects of the tumor/resect? Both?
