I wasn’t feeling creative at all. Everywhere I went, the mood was tense and full of uncertainty and stress levels were contagiously high. I need to ditch some of the stress. It was was time for me to make art.
Not carefully thought out with a focal image and complex techniques. I needed finger painting. This is the kind of art play that relieves my stress and helps me cope with every day life.
Having my fingers in wet paint and smearing color all around the page is what I needed. Just feeling the paint on my fingers was soothing to my soul.
Did I create a ground breaking piece of art? Heck no. It will probably be a background for an art journal page. Did I shake off the stress? Absolutely!
We cannot let anything steal our JOY, enjoy your fingers and paint paint paint!
Great idea for getting rid of stress! I can’t wait to get my hands in some paint?
That’s what I’m doing this weekend Carolyn! It’s been a tough week…
Glad you found your happy place xx
Love it!
I feel some messy play coming my way. Thanks for the reminder to play!
A simple post like this is just what I needed. Thank you.
I would have made a bunch of monoprints of all that paint for sure…..sounds like it time for a tarp, some paint pouring and body rolling! xox
Wow now that looks fun. I need to try that, being a stress head by nature. Thank you x
This is a great, honest post.
There’s an ad out there with a cute little blonde girl with her face and hands covered in similar colors (DecoArt, maybe? I forget)… I’m sure it’s a pic of you when you were little! : ) I still can’t just let go like that. lol
I love the idea of using fingers!
