Description
A little about how I feel just now.
Here I sit, in front of my computer,
And at my hands I have all the wonderful colors,
all the wonderful textures that are possible to do.
But I do nothing.
That damned pneumonia has sucked all my energy.
But I will return, I know
but the flame of creativity is a little flickering faint light now
....and it irritates me!!!

What a dark, beautiful and moody piece! I love the colors and textures. Kudos!
really, i know how you can feel when you are in that kind of mood gun. if not, the image would make it clear.
And yet, this is a gorgeous and expressive image you've done. Remember, some of Edgar Allen Poe's and Mark Twain's (and other's) work was at its best when they were struggling to overcome adversity and illness. My cough seems to be increasing again. Very disheartening...
You've been sick a long time Gunsan, I've now had this cold for 3 weeks too!! So sorry your not feeling well. Being sick does suck the life out of you!!! Stay warm and drink lots of hot tea, with lemon of course!!! Very moody piece!!!!!
You'll be back before you know it !!! just keep thinking positive S Big Get Better Hugs
Please don't think I am writing what I did, and made an image showing how I feel, is something did to get a lot of sympathy. I have found that trying to describe what I feel in words and image, breaks the stand-still. Like a stone that begin to move. For me is has to be in public. It does not help sitting for myself admitting these feelings This, I have found many times, helps me to move on with life. I also guess that it is a feeling everyone can identify with. It is something we all share, this glue you can find yourself stuck in. In sweden somebody wrote a song about an ant getting stuck in a big chewing gum,that somebody had spitted out on the ground. maybe it is a child song, I don't remeber, but I know the feeling :-) So to do something to break the deadlock, to describe your feelings usually helps you to move on. It works for me, usually. Maybe it works for you too :-)
Sorry you had pneumonia. Not an easy illness to get over. I know you are not looking for sympathy; just describing how you feel. I can identify with that feeling. Excellent work.
I agree completely with your method Gun, I do the same and it is a big help. This image shows an igniting fire I think. Beautiful color and textures. Give a try at some creating each day and it will be like adding kindling to the fire. It doesn't matter what the result is, soon you will have some masterpieces shinning big bright lights in your gallery. Cool story about the ant and the chewing gum! Hugs! x:)
Now I have a bit more time Gun, you are so perfect right with your thoughts! And it is not easy to get out of the gum (what a great little story) and was myself often enough in this trap. But in the meantime I accept this as a part of the creativity process and while I stuck, I create something wich helps to solve this situation, to let it out. No doubt, it helps ;o) Hugs Gun!
A very expressive image, wonderful texture work ;O)
an ant stuck in the chewing gum... that's such a great way to describe a very familiar feeling.:-) And somehow your picture shows something about that too, the textures and the colours are wonderful and then the artist herself is hidden in the dark - so actually you've managed to visualise so well the feeling that it must have already gone away, at least for a moment! You see, not even the long lasting pneumonia can defeat you! There's always that sparkle left, and it shows. All the best, Gun, and take good care of yourself. Lots of warming and healing hugs.
Gundan your creativity is all there, this image is so powerful, and the colours are amazing.
I know you feel bad, I feel so sorry for you, because you are a person that never complains, I know as well how pneumonia feels I have had that last year...hopefully you get better soon, so that you can enjoy the beauty around you, thank God you can create your work still that express so much....well done dear Gun
A fabulous image, very deep and dark. Yet there is hope .. in the bright colors, there is hope, and health. I think we all understand how our art helps us work through things. And I think most of us use it in that manner, to express our feelings.
Beautiful image!
