Painting self-portraits is starting to feel like therapy

[@serenadeleon9308]

Love that you did this and what they represent. And I love the style, expression, freedom and colors in both. 👏 ❤

I know I don't know you but I'm glad you're doing better. I was just diagnosed with ADHD this year too and it's changed my life. Still having trouble processing it but just knowing there's an explanation for the things I've struggled with my whole life is a relief.

I've just learned I have autism and ADHD, and it was actually such a relief to finally understand myself and my lifelong struggles. I understand what you mean and I understand the pain ♡ I hope your self-discovery and healing journey bring you brighter days and the solace of knowing you have always and will always do your best in each moment with what you know. When you know better, you can do better, but you're always your best you in the present, and there's always new potential in the choices we make ♡ We've got this 🦄

@@lunarrefresh this is really sweet. Thank you.

I have had severe PTSD and am in constant pain from over 30 surgeries, painting has helped with the PTSD, nothing helps the constant pain. Hearing what others have to deal with helps a little. I pray for you all ♥️

[@lunarrefresh]

@@consueloyoung4484 Prayers right back, and Love to you 🙏🏻💚🙏🏻

Lovely work. Both are very evocative and well painted.

The old one is beautiful in the way it shows emotion but the new one is just over the top gorgeous. The way you’ve learned to use color is beautiful and the colors in both tell stories

So lovely, I love the colors on the new one. So glad you're posting again, I love your art and your video styles.

You're so right. Don't underestimate the value of our duds! That's where we learn the most. When a painting goes 100% smooth and everything comes out just the way we wanted it to, we sure feel satisfied, but there wasn't any learning in the form of overcoming the hurdles to finish the race. Sometimes I even like to take another stab at my duds and see if I can work them into something I'm happy with, because nothing feels better than turning a dud into a dandy! ☺️👍

Absolutely lovely. I’ve really been enjoying your recent content.

A visual recollection. That is a great way to remember the time running through the fire to the other side.
