An Art Work A Day

Two Red Fish watercolours on paper 24x32cm $100 Free shipping worldwide

This is the colour I will order a mount in. This one is a tad too small.

Today we had a lovely sky as I drove home from work

Another illustration within the same theme as yesterday's.

Every single day I do my very best to fight my way upwards. I hope you do too. I try to pick up every scrap of positive thing I can find along my way - every small everyday joy. There simply is no other choice. But many days it is a fight - a hard one - fighting myself and my treacherous emotions and thoughts that do not do my bidding.

One of the things closely connected to feeling low is weight issues. Living in a society that prefer gazelles is not always easy.

When you feel like a whale it is no fun living a life as a land creature. Depression leads to inactivity and and urge for chocolade for those of us who do not stop eating alltogether when felling low of course. Inactivity leads to weight gain. Activity reduces depression. All this we know but the bad circle is very hard to break.

Some days I wish I was a sea creature because they look so graful and strong. Those days I find it sad that we do not have a swimming pool where I live. They have been talking about it for at least 40 years, but it has all been talk.

Finding the right path to follow is not always finding the wide motorway. Sometimes we have to dare enter narrow and scary places where we risk getting hurt.

In addition when we want to do the morally right things then too the path tend to become much narrower.

On bad days, our choices seem to us to be very few - we feel that our only option is following narrow paths because all other ways are locked either by ourselves or by others, maybe by financial or health issues and sometimes our own mind plays tricks on us and only shows us the narrow path.

Anyway, travelling those narrow path, no matter whether it is a temporary thing just to get out on the other side or what our life feels like, is a part of life where company is a very nice thing to have.

Some days we all feel like digging ourself a pit and hide. We gather up all the bad things we can find and nearly perversely enjoy how bad we feel and how horrible our life is and how terrible everyone is treating us. Of course most of us do not really enjoy it. All that is kind of a sad part of some phases of depression, and it is not easy to be optimistic when you seriously feel horrible.

I want to be optimistic and I believe people can change and trends and journeys down can be turned into an upwards direction. I have therefore made this big fish in the process of turning. Hopefully it will find some nice suppport that will help it continue upwards.

Today I finally got my butt out of the coach and working on posting on ebay. I have had such a bad concience about not using ebay for many many months which is very stupid considering that I have paid to have the store there all the time. Hopefully I will get into better habits in 2008. For now I have a major clear out during this new year week and post a lot on ebay. You might find a coup. For this new year period my shipping is also free on ebay.

A painting I did to express my joy last weekend being out in the sun painting.

This one is not for sale or as my daughter said - only for a very very good offer. She took one look at it and decided she wanted it herself for her new flat.
