Stressed

I felt the need to throw some paint and this is the result.  I looked back at last year's post at this time and it is very similar.  You can check out that one, "Strained" if you'd like and you'll see that this time of year  is not my favorite but it's my own fault.  I always feel out of control.  Last year, I made plans to do a better job of being organized about the holidays but obviously that didn't happen.  I just don't think I have it in me to get things done in a timely manner and that causes STRESS.

Phew....now it's over for another year.  I know those of you that love Christmas think I'm crazy but I'm really happy that we can get on to the new year.  I'll make the same resolution to be more organized and we'll see what the outcome is for 2012.  Who knows, if I get everything done ahead of time for the holidays next year, Christmas may become my favorite holiday.

This is a watercolor with bits of acrylic which I had to use (the white) because it was getting so dark.  It sure was liberating to throw all of that paint though.

    To my cross country friend: the best of new years, a successful year at love, at work, at friendship.......throw paint more often as it becomes you. Hope to meet you in person someday. Hugs.

    Pretty colors, Nancy, and a fine way to relieve some of that stress. Let it out, my friend! LOL Still, a rather interesting piece came from it all.

    Thank you Jill. I hope to meet you too. I don't think I'm cross country though. I think you live in L.A. and I live on Orange County. If that's the case, our paths could very easily cross.

    Thank you Sherry. You should try throwing some paint. It relieves stress really well.

    Thank you Hilda.

    Thanks Theresa. I'm going to try doing some drips like you do along with the paint throwing. Wouldn't that be cool?
