Description (40 minute speedpaint, made using this amazingly simple and easy-to-understand tutorial: [link] )

~

I've been in a lot of pain lately. The unimaginably excruciating sort. Tears have been my second nature for the past three days.

I tried to paint something. Anything to take my mind off this agony. At first I couldn't; the pain was too overpowering, dissolving my every intention of creativity.

And then the calm, somber blues appeared on the canvas. The bright, glowing figure soon followed, caressing a single tear harvested from the cheeks of a suffering human. She cannot gaze upon the sacred beauty of this tear, produced from an emotion so deep, so raw, so pure in essence, that the vibrance illuminating her body would blind her!

These tears are kept safe and unforgotten, counted and stored for the day of release. For though the sorrow may last through the night, the brilliant joy comes in the morning!


I strive for peace through the pain.

I remain tranquil in light of my torture.

I hold hope in place of despair.

I am alive.

I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles, dear. I hope you feel better soon. Your description was touching, and very eloquent. "For though the sorrow may last through the night, the brilliant joy comes in the morning!" Amen to that, sister. Here's another hug.

That clearly is surrealism. It's pretty and it works. Great job.

Yes, surrealism seemed appropriate because it is my attempt to capture a feeling before I forgot it. (Maybe that's why so many of my works are speedpaints...) Thank you for your input!

Earache/Inner ear infection. It might not sound like a big deal when I say it, but believe me, I would not wish this pain on anyone! I've taken painkillers, but they don't seem to work.

If you have any idea how to cure it, I would be glad to hear your advice! It feels like I've tried almost everything with no results.

I'll take your word for it. I've never had an ear infection or if I have, it was when I was little and don't remember the pain. Sorry I can't really help you with any remedies. I have no experience in earaches.
