Hey all. I’m making this blog to document my use of art as therapy, because that’s what it has always been for me. This was a painting that I did the day after the election. I started with a large amount of titanium white, because I needed a way to describe the numbness and denial I was feeling at the time. There are a lot of gradient spaces because as I look into the future I see terrible things, blurry in view. All the colors I put down were diluted by the white, and i made use of large brushstrokes swirling all sorts of ways which were even a surprise to myself, I could not control the outcome. Just like I can’t control the future of our country.
