Art is Therapy!
July 20, 2007…
This painting proves that “art is therapy” for me. I woke up dreading the day… nine years ago this day my sister Kristi was killed in a car accident. Anyone who has gone through a similar situation knows the process… you live out that day remembering every detail minute by minute replaying the awful turn of events in your minds-eye like a bad movie that you can’t turn off. The day started in that fashion and I found myself running a gamut of emotions… so I decided to take my paints to work and get lost in painting. This painting of Kristi is the result. I found that as I painted my mind and mood transformed. It was as if I was spending time visiting her instead of replaying the events that happened… art is therapy… thank God…
Kristi… 8×6″ Oil on canvas, alla prima, July 20, 2007.
The painting has a spirit of its own-
