Truly amazing art! Warmsoul had said you were good, but this is unreal!

I must go and check out your entire collection... thanks for the link. Perhaps you could put this link in the members' web-pages section of this forum? - Just a thought.

I particularly like "Withdrawn", and "Mother Nature". Thanks for sharing them with us here. Please share more, as you complete them!

Stephen.

hey, i dabble a bit in drawing and painting for art therapy...but its nothing like your artwork! - i have a nasty habit of destroying everything i draw/doodle/paint - i always see my own stuff as ..um...crappy.

anyways, you have an absolute gift ameth! - i love how you have so many different ways of expression...and you just dont stick to one style, but instead, you explore the artistic creativity you have obviously been gifted with.


have you ever thought about placing your artwork on bipolar art - a few of mine are on there. its a worldwide site for artists/expressionist by people who suffer with depression, bipolar 1 & 2.



a little question - do you find when youre in a low mood, painting/drawing, helps?

p.s.

this one is my fav!



its just so....(i cant find the right word to use)...but pure comes into my mind when i look at this piece. pure love.

(((((((((((moo)))))))))))))))

nice to meet you! thank you very much, i'm glad that you liked my work.

i used to destroy all of my work, too... but i've found that if i put them away (even if i don't like them which often i don't) and pull them out sometime later on (days, months, whenever) i don't hate them so much. and i can see how i have grown, too, by looking back at them. not only in my styles or how much better i've actually gotten at different parts, but also because when i draw it's because something has affected me very much and i try to get those emotions out of me onto the page... i draw/paint/etc for myself, to get those out and express myself. it's an outlet. i can look back and see whre i've come from and see how far i've come from the bad places. so, yah, i do find that it helps me a lot. and it helps me to get out things that i can't always express in words. even if things don't make sense on that paper to anyone but me (and sometimes not even to me) they are from deep inside.

i don't know which site you're talking about, i have never heard of it... i've considered putting things up on different sites for different things, but it takes me a bit to warm up and get enough courage to do so.

thank you for the kind things you said!!! keep drawing and painting, it's one of the best outlets i know of. even if it's just a scribble or fingerpainting, it's a part of you, and that's what is important.

((( Amethyst )))

I am speechless... those are absolutely amazing!

I went on the link you gave us, but when I click on the thumbnails, more than half of them won't load.

And since everyone is saying which they prefer, I like them all, but if I have to chose it would be "Sad Monkey/Neglected Monkey " and "Control" (But I can only view the thumbnail).

Again, very amazing!
