#coronart day 47: Quarter

I tend to be tough on myself. I make no apologies for it, but I'm aware that higher aspirations can often distract from present accomplishment. 
Now, when the world is turning as strange a...

#coronart day 46: Wolven

In a sort of follow up to my "Timid" drawing, the next step down my personal anxiety spiral, that I'm successfully keeping at bay, is when the fear hardens into hatred.  When I reside for too ...

#coronart day 45: Irredeemable

There is no undo button. All the little faults and flaws and mistakes malicious or well-intended, all add up. They are what makes us who we are today. Tomorrow we shape our redemption from the ashe...

#coronart day 44: Timid.

I get skittish.  Being itself becomes threatening. Sounds, movements, lights, all attack me. Inside I'm raging. Jaws clenched. Preparing to strike back, because running away is no option. Ther...

#coronart day 43: Old

At dawn I headed out to the hills. From a pile of moss covered boulders stood out an equally moss covered tree. Lifeless, broken, and withered, except for some thin branches stretching towards the...

#coronart day 42: Remain.

One step forward, just to tumble all the way back down. Yesterday,  despite a gloomy image and text, I was feeling more hopeful. I was over the hump. Maybe I had truly kicked depressions ass, ...

#coronart day 41: Wallow.

My worst depressive period every year usually  strikes with the first sun of summer. I don't know if it's light itself or the damned smiling people, or whatever. I just shut down.

#coronart day 39: Error.

When all I see are the enraging faults of others, I have to remind myself to slow down. Stop. Breath. And ask myself if it perhaps may be my own vision that is in error.

Today King Depression was set to win. For a few days I've been failing,  falling, deeper, erratic, aggressive, distant, hopeless.

#coronart day 37: Master

Maybe it's not the darkness that calls. Maybe it's a tiny speck of light in the darkness, and you chase it further into the dark. Then the  darkness becons you to stay. Rest a while. Have pity...

#coronart day 36: Havoc

The pin drops. The world plunges into chaos. Upended, uprooted, drifting on the infinite sea of unknown. When we find land again, it is the ruins of a dead world. Yet we rebuild, from the havoc. View Post

#coronart day 35: Dare.

I once heard about someone jumping into the water to swim with school of dolphins at sunset. Turned out they were hammerhead sharks. Taking on a daily art challenge is kind of like that. Some days ...

#coronart day 32: Bring.
