paint it black

this might seem a bit random..

but as a person that has struggled with deep depression for a few years now, I've come up with random little ideas that I use to thwart the negative feelings/mindset. this is one of them.

I noticed an art piece on a wall today that was all black, with some kind of textured oil or clay maybe, pretty much just a dark and morose expression. It just made me think, why don't I do something like that? So i'm thinking about buying a canvas, and making it look as ugly and dark as my thoughts get sometimes. Maybe characterizing it would help me reflect on it better, since it's concrete and not just in my head.

    Where you paint your mind will follow. You can paint yourself into misery or joy. You can paint yourself into insanity. You can paint yourself clear and sane. Pick your subject and palette carefully because where you paint, you go.
