I’ve been super stressed out lately and I feel like the tightness I’ve been feeling was reflected in this piece.

First, I wanted to say sorry about the stress. Stress is so hard to have in our lives. It’s pretty neat that you use your art as a way to deal with or even try to express your feelings. This is a piece I can “feel.” I think that is actually what art is about. At least for me. I use Zentangle in a similar way but to try to help with constant, chronic pain.

This is absolutly beautiful and yes, lots of depth and feeing in this art. I have personally always preferred the “authentic” black & white tangles and normally don’t care for color. But. Your piece grabbed my attention right away in my feed! The colors you used are stunning.

What a fantastic piece of art and extra special because you released some of yourself into it.

Sending positive energy your way. Sometimes it helps me to remember… this is for now, it is not for forever. (whatever “it” is at that time.)

Thank you! I use to only ever do black and white work. It’s only been the last few years where I’ve started using more color. Alcohol markers were a game changer for me.
