How do you think: how looks perfect decision for stress? When I have a bad mood, I just taking my sketch-book, gel pens or pastels and run away in my imaginerium world of when lives fantastic birds and magic flowers.
Such a practic helping very well, especialy when I in need to relax and forget about some problems.
And when my nervous system is calm, then my organism working as it has to be.
And precisely: for this you don't need to be great artist. You just need to get joy and pleasure from what are you doing.
To draw the conclusion I want to show to you result of mine regular relax: seascape - the dawn is coming:
This is pastel. I really love the sea. I like it's endless and, unfortunatelly, not completely 'cos it's trapped in shores. An ocean have the real freedom. It have no shores - the continents trapped in it's "arms".
P.S.: a little joke - I took a picture of mine art without flush bulb. And...
it started remined me about Mordor (The Lord Of The Rings).
Enjoy reading it. (Sorry for my English)
