Acrylic on canvas

Graciously featured in GREAT SHOWCASE PAINTINGS and Inspired Art both on 1/9/11 and Artists with Bipolar
Also graciously featured in Safe Haven 2/3/11 as well as Freedom of Expression

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.

    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.
