Art can help to heal
This week a friend came to stay for a few days. She couldn't have come at a worst time because it rained two out of the three days. I know she hasn't been too happy recently, so on one of the rainy days when we were stranded indoors I asked if she wanted to try some acrylic pour. She is much more artistically talented than me, which to be honest, isn't that difficult, but joking aside, some people just have the natural talent. She has seen some acrylic pour videos before but never tried it. I set up everything for her, and briefly told her how it works. I didn't want to be too directive as I think art, especially abstract art should be free from boundaries.
I gave her some cardboard paper to do a practice pour as you really need to get a feel first. Then I gave her two old record players to pour on. She used mainly blue and grey as her prime colours, and I was thinking, maybe this is a reflection of her mood.
These are her two pours. I noticed she had her own method and logic as if she wanted to say something. I didn't ask her what it meant as I think that's personal to her, but I'm pretty sure she had embedded her feelings in there.
She seemed a bit more relaxed after the session, maybe art does help to heal.

She does seem like she has a lot of natural talent and a .... sense of sending her own message through her creations... I like both pours. There's some feelings in them that feels as if there's vulnerability in her....
only she will know
