Art Therapy

I decided to go ahead and start art therapy. I have heard it works for a lot of people and at the very least maybe it can take some of my anxiety away. I started today and made two paintings. One I copied from a youtuber and when I finished I didn't like it at all. It wasn't my own artwork, it was someone else's idea. However, I liked mixing the colors on the first piece of artwork so I decided to make that my focus on my second piece. The first piece was part of a rainbow surrounded by purple with white swirls. I thought it was easy and when I did it.. I think I just tried way too hard to make it look the way the lady did and had a major fail. So on the second piece I just did the colors of the rainbow and focused on blending the colors together and having no distinct lines. In the picture it looks like distinct lines but in person there is none.

Now I am an awful artist. I can't paint, draw, anything, so this is crazy for me to do (or at least in my eyes I think that.) But I noticed that while I was painting, I was so focused on it that I didn't care about anything else going on which is PERFECT! Hopefully this just wont be today but all the days to come. I can't promise  amazing drawings or anything close to that. Sometimes I'll explain..sometimes I won't. Sometimes I'll do what I'm feeling, other times I will dress draw pictures.

I just hope this works for me.

There is no white space, it's just the light shining on the picture. It looks better in person.
