A Year of Making Art, Day 279: Drawing the Blues

January 23, 2008 Day 279

I am feeling down today and my drawing is an expression of that feeling:

I made some final touches on canvas #31 and signed it:

At our bipolar support group meeting last night, one topic that came up was that many of us had used drugs or alcohol to self-medicate before we got real help for our illness. It was also evident that no single medication worked well for everyone, and that lifestyle changes were just as important as finding the right meds. A simple step like switching from coffee to decaf or green tea can make an immense difference.

(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
