Description "I wish I could fly,
From this building, from this wall,
And if I should try,
Would you catch me, if I fall . . .
When I fall . . ."
-Barenaked Ladies

Ahh yes, more vent art. My depression is back in full swing, which is ever so wonderful. Mania leaves, depression takes advantage.
Anyway, symbolism in this piece, as always. The lyrics are from one of my favorite songs and they went so perfect with how I'm feeling.

7X11, watercolors, Bristol watercolor paper

Thank you so much. Expressing what I'm feeling through art has always been helpful for me. It helps to validate my thoughts, feelings and experiences, and gives me a chance to purge them. And I hope others can find some bit of meaning or solace in my work.

Awh it's no problem,it's always amazing to see some really good art! I'm seriously so sorry to hear about your depression, you can always talk to me. I'm not going to claim to understand, because obviously I don't, but I've been through some mental heath stuff and if I can help in any way..you know.

Thank you. Depression sucks - especially when you're coming down from a mixed/manic episode (I'm bipolar). Right now is especially tough, but I'll manage - I always do. Doing art like this helps tremendously.

Depression definitely sucks. Do you see an art therapist? I used to and he was just the loveliest.(I never actually got a diagnosis so I can't tell you what I had.)

Not an art therapist - just a regular one. And he is absolutely fantastic! I can honestly say I love him. And he helped save my life. I also have a psychiatrist and medications (yay). I've just been doing art my entire life, so I kinda muddle through and practice. My vent pieces come to me in various ways - though typically when I'm listening to music. I only draw like this when the inspiration hits - I can't force it.

Yes, I really know what you mean about the inspiration thing! Forced pictures always come out lifeless.

They do! I can do some drawings and paintings without muse (say, of a zombie bunny), but my personal artwork . . . no. I need inspiration.
