Paint Therapy: a labour of love

9/21/2017

This week I've been washing, sanding and undercoating, as a result, I'm feeling lots of muscles that seem to have been hibernating for the winter. The painting of the undercoat has been quite therapeutic, I've always felt that the therapy component of painting is in the process. Despite the monotone palette, I've enjoyed the feeling of the paint rolling on, squishing the brush into all the small grooves, getting into a rhythm, feeling the burning of my muscles and simply enjoying the moment.
It's also very rewarding to begin to see her potential, it's amazing what a splash of paint (even stark white undercoat) can achieve. She feels bigger and brighter already. Next week I'll show you a mockup of her potential. For now, I'll leave you with a few photo's and a few thoughts.
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
- Pablo Picasso
“Respond to every call that excites your spirit.”  
- Rumi
"A black cat and white paint do not make grey, they simply don't mix."

I once used creative therapy like painting to express feelings in my relationship. It was a therapeutic way to communicate emotions and foster connection. It made a real difference in our understanding of each other. If you're interested in exploring similar approaches, True Therapy can offer valuable support and options.

I’ve had bad experiences with electricians in the past, but Maelec restored my faith. Super professional and transparent with their pricing.
