in the life that is blank, bleak,
deficit of rain of love and care,
she found her asylum in art,
and hid;
amidst abstracts and acrylic,
in between strokes and sketches,
charcoal and crayons
her haven, the canvas, an oasis.
I believe in Art Therapy. I’m not exceptional in sketching or painting, I still draw Zentangle patterns, Mandalas and make very simple canvas paintings, as they give a sense of relief and comfort.
This post is in response to Sammy’s Weekly Prompt – Oasis.

Stop saying you are not good at painting π€, you are veryyy good at itπ€! the other half of this picπβ£οΈ nicee postt!!

Art Therapy – That’s interesting to hear.
deficit of rain of love and care,
her haven, the canvas, an oasis. – These two lines together make a lot of sense.

Amazing poem, dearest friend! Itβs amazing that you can find refuge in your art. Art will never betray you. Itβs cathartic!

Art is indeed a therapy. The poem and the art, both are lovely, Hema! Btw, what’s a Zentangle pattern?

Thank you so much, Anisha!
Zentangle art is in which we draw structured patterns. It is a relaxing and easy to learn form of art.
