Everyone experiences sadness, depression, a case of the blues. It’s a part of life. Then there’s clinical depression and/or bipolar depression. This painting is an attempt to express the deep sadness that comes for no reason but is just there. Having just experienced a more intense mixed episode I resorted to one of my outlets-painting. This is one of the results. Inevitably when I post something gloomy and dark, I receive comments trying to encourage me, which is very kind, please rest assured I’m alright.

From painting in-home murals, to painting on glass, to painting on a more expected surface-various sized canvases- I’ve found a way to express my moods and thoughts. Photography and its corresponding photo editing is a relatively new, and enjoyable, endeavor.

I am glad you are ok, as you stated we all have depression at times it is part of being human.
Thanks Vickie. I’m pleased the emotion was conveyed.

Love, love, love the blue, but not so much feeling blue. Beautiful forlorn eyes. Glad you are ok. :):)
Thanks on all counts. :) I was afraid some of the blue was too cheery.

This is a good representation of depression. I am bipolar and know that deep dark place this painting goes to. Well done, nice work!
Thank you. I am pleased that it represents the mood well.

This is so powerful and moving…Really wonderful work.
So many times my attempt to express myself through any creative medium falls so very short. I’m happy (sounds contradictory,doesn’t it!) that this time it works. Thank you so much.
