Expressing yourself
through the holidays
and staying creative
and strong.
Sometimes holidays tear you
apart.
Sometimes
family just lets
you down.
But staying creative
and expressive
through your work
is a huge safe place.
We can only
dream
and plan
of what our
lives
will be like.
And sometimes it
does not work out that way.
Sometimes we
just think
back and try to get it all.
And there is no answer.
So painting during it all
is a good thing to do.
It rescues the heart
and gives you a place
to go when it all
just kind of hurts.
