Since I started this new blog, I have been so indecisive on what direction I wanted to proceed in my postings, what do I share, how much do I share, how personal shall I get?! I have been holding back on sharing too much personal information, I feel there is enough out there already, who wants to hear about my goings on~ so I feel that my art pretty much explains how I am feeling, I was not gifted with the ability to write well, so I paint my feelings...I paint my demons away~ and what a lovely freeing thing this has been, since art is so new to me~
I wanted to share a little about this particular piece I created~ It has many meanings but one I believe is too personal to share? another meaning... is dedicated to my sweet friend JoAnnA~ and to others who are suffering & enduring hardship in their lives~ I wish I could find the words to describe the overwhelming feelings of love for people that I haven't met face to face....I love this blogging world, this place where I have found friends, by simply knowing them by their writings, by their spirit within~ I love that!
Ten thousand tears, isn't necessarily tears of saddness...rather, tears of sharing, tears of joy, tears of reading about others' whose lives that have touched me so~ I am so thankful for this new lil' world of blogging & I am so thankful for my new friends~ I cry 10,000 tears
Our souls are like tender flowers at the mercy of the winds of destiny. They tremble in the morning breeze.
~Kahlil Gibran
Hey you wrote my story there, everything fits me perfectly. I've had so strange period in my life, most painful. I have found also something new in this blog world, and my new art is something totally different...I thinks that's why I'm so touched with your art.

I love the idea of painting your demons away....
I started doing art after an ex read all my journals, I felt like words betrayed me...
art saved me, I think it has saved many of us.

Dear Izabella ~ so beautiful ~ sad and happy ~ eveyone is different and it is scary to 'talk' but for me I had to, as I'd kept silent too long and my head was bursting.
Your art is very haunting and always beautiful, JoAnna will love this Im sure.
Whatever you do you will have your friends to listen xx Judy x

Bella...thank you for sharing that much with us. I feel as you, I'm torn with how much to share too because it makes you feel vunerable.
I love your work because it IS emotional.
We care to listen to as much r as little as you want to share.

Wow, your post as well as the ensuing comments are so full of emotion. Let this be testament to the fact that we are all in "this" together and share the joys and pain in this Journey called Life. Let it help us to understand and be more tolerant of others. And let it be a thread to bind us all together. Whatever you're experiencing, Iz, you have my good thoughts and my virtual hugs.
