Art by Gina Barry
Just Daisies by Gina Barry 18" x 36" Acrylic, ink, water soluble pencil on wood
Painting while emotional
is not my usual gig.

I have had some emotions that are unfamiliar 
like anger.

I don't like the Anger feeling
I try to talk myself out of it
I want to fix it
I clean in anger
and in this painting I added a couple of layers
while in anger

I have learned in these past couple years 
that I can't fix "it".
These happenings that make the anger grow. 
I just get to ride the wave
how I deal with what is happening
And I know I haven't dealt with them well at times.

This painting has
layers of anger
layers of sad
​layers of loss
layers of messy
layers of hope
layers of dreams
layers of following along
layers of doing my own thing
all mixed together

in the end
i learned
anger can be beautiful
in my Wabi Sabi world
as long as I don't dwell there too long
(and my house is cleaner...)

​this painting...
Two daisies.
Connected
one is turning away
Even as the other tries to hold it close
perhaps this painting is about more than
​just these flowers

Beautiful Gina! Your painting and your words. It’s true, I believe, that the best art is expressive emotion. It’s personal therapy to create it and it speaks its own beautiful message to those who witness it. The only way out is through right? Keep going my friend.

    The words to go with the art. Because Art doesn't speak for itself.
