Painting the Darkness

I love to paint. Acrylic is my choice. I paint nature or colorful creations. It's fun to paint. Until I make the mistakes. Then I'm painting darkness. Black on black covering the bad. Washing anew for a new type of look.

The darkness isn't always scary. It brings peace, calm, and nature. Darkness isn't the end or the beginning. Darkness is limbo. A place. A color. A time. Living in the darkness. It's a new feeling. Not scary. No fears. Fear comes from inside the darkness, not the darkness itself. I have no fear of the darkness. I find the center, the calm, the neutral. 

I paint the darkness on my canvas of life. When I make mistakes I can paint the darkness and start new. It's different, but not bad. Never bad. Different. Hopeful. I just keep painting the darkness. I'll find the peace within, one day. Until then I will paint. Acrylic on Canvas.
