a painting and a story

Recently in my art class in school we've been working on independent projects. I started sculpting a tree to hang coffee mugs on, and so far, it's turning out quite lovely. But, as of lately there has been a whole bucket of issues that has dropped over my shoulders and it's been insanely stressful. Most times when I'm feeling stressed I'll just write something about it, but this time I felt the need to paint. To blend every colour together with my hands and just spread it out in the way that I was feeling. So, with that, I did this finger painting. There are quite a few layers built up with different images hidden by the one above, because I believe that's how stress works. So many layers, all building up until you can't take it anymore.

The finger painting.

This is just a painting I did before Christmas, but only got around to taking a photo of it now.
