As promised a more updated paint by number!

You know, at this rate, I will be done with this paint by number within a week or two. My therapist suggested I work on it when I am upset, annoyed, super anything has got me really busting out the work. I guess I had best find another one and get it ordered somewhat soon, gotta have something constructive to do. I can be proud later, that even with my heart dying and hurt screaming to roll out of me, I didn't let any of the mean and nasty words spew forth. I think I have a right to feel hurt, I just know I cannot express myself in any type of way that would be healthy. Not now, maybe not at all. Not anymore. There appears to be no real point. The words, when said in a manner I am not ashamed of later seem to have fallen on deaf ears. All I can do is work on me. Make me stronger. Find the me I used to be. I admit, I am scared of what I might find when I finally make it out of this cursed forest. Anyways, enjoy my art!

At one of the darkest moments of my life I announced that what I wanted to do was to throw paint at a very large canvas.It was very therepeutic. Art hekps you heal and it looks like you will have a lovely picture when it is finished.

I'm sorry your heart rages with hurt... seems to me your therapist should help you find another outlet for your pain... but...your picture is looking good and I can see the image taking shape... I do adult colouring in...which helps me to relax too....

We are working on different things, what works, what doesnt. I have some adult coloring books, have issues sticking with them for some reason

Painting and drawing are very good activities when we have dark moments. Your piece of art looks very good.

The Art is somewhat different from the modern Art. What should we call this?

Art can be good therapy! It looks very cool. Get another before you're done with this one so you can be ready to go!
