Girl and Horse Painting

[unico_love]

I don't think I paint better when I'm depressed or feel crazy. I don't usually prefer painting more depressing or cynical material, anyways, so I guess it makes sense that seeing or experiencing negative things doesn't help my art. I don't think I'm usually very cynical by nature... And I like bright colors too much:-) Though it's true one of my favorite paintings I did is rather sa- looking... Sometimes when I've been really depressed I still accomplished and completed a lot, even where it did seem a bit better than when I was in a more relaxed mindset (like in school, for example, and sometimes I've gotten a lot of writing done). I really don't see how that's ever happened with painting for me, though. This last depression, too, I could barely make myself move, so I guess it makes sense I wouldn't paint much:-P

I just finished this painting last night, but I will probably edit it a little still.

I love your art, that is beautiful. I think in some way depression can help the creative process as being depressed is like a journey deep into ourselves.

I like it. Especially the horse... something about the pose, and the way the neck is curved is really drawing me in.

My eye keeps being drawn to the horse's face. I like the way it's nuzzling through the underbrush, looking for something extra tasty.
