Angry
I have written a whole post on anger, and I have learned so much about this feeling over the years. I have done many little drawings and paintings that I felt ashamed to show to anyone. Anger is our Enemy, it is everything that is ‘wrong’ with us. But being with our anger and expressing it as art can help us to uncover the other important feelings underneath or alongside it. Maybe we feel frustrated or helpless or annoyed or humiliated or whatever. All I know is that I feel like a more complete person since I started allowing myself to draw and paint this powerful emotion.
The drawings go in order, Days 1-5. Click on the first drawing and you can click through them all.
Day 1. I feel a mix of anger and frustration that mixes together and I am breathing heavily out of my nose.
Day 2: I want to say things but I know they are things in the moment so I hold them in and they are sitting on top of my head like a tall chef hat.
Day 3: When people font listen to me of talk over me I retreat I to a space where I am fuming but also say and very and that I am being undermined.
Day 4: I am trying to express my anger with more color this week, today I realize that I get angry when I feel small and insignificant.
Day 5: I am angry that I have this eye infection that is getting in the say of my vacation and so I am drawing what I feel like I would look like if I were cursing out loud!
