I'm not an artist & I rarely draw or paint but I felt like I needed to express how I'm feeling in a creative way. The dark represents all the bad things what have happened in my life & how my emotions may spiral out of control some times. The colours are to show that through all the pain I am still happy & I guess have become a better person, if you look closely there is dark bits all over this is to represent how the bad things are always at the back of my mind & how they can eat away at me at any point. I used some paints I found in my nieces art box, old mascara, a black pall point pen, old foundation & old lip gloss. I used make up a lot in my painting not just because I have no paints but because it represents how some times I hide my feelings & keep them hidden inside. a lot of things are on my mind at the moment & this kinda helped me, I think I should do this more often.
