Anxiety Canvas Print

I feel it today off and on for various reasons. I'm excited about the new car, but anxious about making the payments. I know we can, its just the concept of having a car payment after so long of not having one. Then my brain takes off to the races with all sorts of wild scenarios about things that could but probably never will happen.

Art helps my anxiety a lot. People can usually tell how troubled I was at the time by the type of lines in my work as well as how many of them. This piece I added more lines and shapes and more detail because I found the whole process soothing.

This period I'm in, not focusing on sales and just the art itself has been good for me as I'm discovering some new tools and style. However, anxiety is often a recurring theme in my art. I used to push such feelings down, but now I'll take a gummy and paint. Funny thing is, when I'm really amped up I can't do art because my brain won't pause or slow down enough to focus. So I have to have some help calming down before I can process it on the digital canvas.

This has been really helpful for me and I hope it is helpful for someone reading this.
