Comment on Planet Of Fear by MikeGould
I like your style too and can see now why you like my work "sometimes there is no way to fight fear"...because your artwork is as colorful as mind 
What I also like is the descriptions of your artwork..I think I might write more under my drawings too...I thought it was nice how your work developed and what you thought while making it. As for your painting..I really like that upper right part of the sky with that sun in the corner and the flames coming up reaching for the sky.

I think people tend to be attracted to work which they can relate to in some form. I went thorough a very dark patch, but I think using colour helps pull me out of that place.
It's hard to get the descriptions right. I don't want to say too much as I want people to get thir own meaning from the work - often people see things I don't and it is interesting. However it is useful to put some context in.
This painting started as a bit of a disaster. For some reason I worked in reverse and already had figures and and foreground in place. I did the sky and it was terrible so I did another layer and it still didn't work so I did another. I actually got a bit panicky as I liked the foreground. However,it ot there. Yes, I'm also really pleased with the way the sky in the right corner came out.

The strange thing is..that the themes my drawings have are not that happy..I´m a very thoughtful person..anxious when I can not control what´s coming towards me..but although I put all those feelings in my artwork it is very colorful 
Yes..I guess it´s the right way just to leave a short description but don´t go to deep into the meaning so that people can see their own things in the artwork.

I do know how you feel. It is often hard to switch off thinking, and unfortunately it is often the more negative things that rise to the surface. In many ways a lot of my paintings are unhappy - they help me measure my state of mind. Until I restarted my painting I used to suffer from very severe panic attacks, but then painting has helped me control them - the panic and negativity often ends up in the paintings - sometimes good work, sometimes bad but it serves it's purpose. Most of my darker work isnlt on DA. The anxiety is still there, particularly if things are going badly, but not as severe.
Yes, that´s true 
I´m glad for you that painting helps you come over the panic attacs and fear..
Do you know this group?

Thanks Kate. Yes, I have recently joined the group and that is where I saw first your work. I have also realised that there are so many people out there who suffer similar insecurities and issues as me and it helps to know people understand.
ahh I see
Yes, that´s true..this group showed me that, too.
But it´s wonderful to have art as a "catalysator"
