A little drawing I made of my cat named "Kitty" There are a lot of world crisis issues getting me down lately and Kitty seems to pick up on my reaction very accurately, even if that's unfortunate since I don't want to her to feel depressed just because I'm not feeling well! I have tried to capture her worried expression which has lately been more frequent (in this quick little drawing) and seems to mirror my own recent heightened melancholic sensitivity. I wanted to show something colorful despite feeling like bleakness is the only interpretation worth expressing lately. To me the colors reflect the light of the room that she was sitting in as well as the brightness of her little soul that seems to anthropomorphically be so hopeful underneath her concern.
I know that we will be okay especially through the process of drawing, painting, and making music since it
helps me feel better and in turn helps Kitty too, since she seems to be sensing my perceptions. She seems to perk up in her mood when anything creative is going on in our house! Even though I understand that I'm not an expert drawer or
painter and, as much as I appreciate other people's photo-realism and
perfect representation, guess maybe just a sort of abstract expression
is about as far as I can produce in drawings and paintings, at least for now I hope, hah.
Anyway, getting back to my
current devastation in the wake of world crisis that seems to be
overwhelming us all lately... Although I feel that it's important to stay
knowledgeable about current events that affects us all over the world and to stay involved in helping whenever possible to make the earth a better and safer place for everyone and every thing to live in and to exist in wellness,
the explosive media seems to be a terrifying distraction. I hope to spend a bit
less time looking at the news and great more time creating art.
