Art Journaling-Monthly Muse-April 2021-Week #2-April Is For Artspiration-Toni Burt-Learning To Heal From Within

Another Wonderful! Muse!...I Rather Enjoy Looking At Other People's Art Work!...I Liked Toni's Gallery...I In Particular...Liked The More Neutral Pieces...Creating With Neutrals Can Be Hard...When There's Not Much Other Color For Contrast!...But Toni Also Creates With Color Too!...But With A Still Simpler Approach...Not Too Many Colors To Over Power But To Enhance As Needed...So I Took These Ideas & Put Them Into One Art Piece...I Went With Only Neutrals : Black/White & A Muted Neutral Brown Tone...With Only A Few Pops Of The Same A Bit More Powerful...Color Blue!...

*SUBJECT MATTER : A BIT SENSITIVE!!! : From Here : Stop Reading If You Feel You Should :

*This Layout Took On A Life Of It's Own While I Was Creating It!...It Started Out Being About One Thing But Ended Up Becoming A Piece About Pain!!!...All Kinds Of Pain!...The Kind That Causes SILENT TEARS!...It Could Be Grief/Loss/Serious Health Issues/Anxiety/Depression/Bullying/Self-Esteem Issues/Family Issues/Social Injustice/Prejudice/Stress...All Kinds Of Pain!...Physical Chronic Pain Like I Have & Many Others Do Too!...The Daily Struggles Can Seem Unbearable!...I Know How That Can Be...Or Mental Illness Issues...Such Hard To Talk About Subject Matter...But I'm Always Putting My Feelings Out There...& Into My Art!...It Helps Relieve The Types Of Pain I Speak Of...Along With Many Other Things!...And Helps Expel Those Negative Feelings!...& Put Them Out There & To Feel Relief That You Did!...& To Know That I Can Do Just That...Without Fear Of Judgement Here...The Support Here Is A Very Important Thing! To Me! & So Many Others Here...Creating Is My Muse! ...Most Certainly...But No Matter How Hard A Day Can Be...There Is Always Hope!...There Is Always A Way!...I Created This Layout As A Form Of Healing! For Myself!...& As A Form Of Hope For Others...I Hope!...That Is!...We Are All Connected In This World We Live In!...So Please!...If You Are Going Through Some Tough Times...Reach Out & Connect With Someone...Anyone You Trust!...Someone Who Can Relate!...Never Give Up On Yourself!...& Most Importantly!...Never Stop Learning & Accepting! Yourself! & Learning To Love! Yourself As You Are!...Something I Struggle With In My Anxiety Issues!...All My Heart & Love!
