This is a link post Pretty pictures
Some weeks, I'm away for days with work, and I come home and find my other half in a dreadful state with her depression and anxiety. Today was a bit like that, until we started talking about what she'd been drawing, and it all turned around.
She started drawing and painting as part of therapy - hadn't really done it since her days in education - and it's a joy to behold, both because it makes her happy, and because she has a good eye and a heap of talent.

Anyway, here's her Instagram thing. I thought you Philistines might enjoy it too.

This is a normal post Thank you!
- and thanks to whoever's added her to their following list.
You know how it is: I can tell her that her art is awesome till the cows come home, but my motives are suspect - random strangers on the other hand, your praise is worth having!

This is a normal post Completely understand
My other half also gets depression and anxiety.

Sometimes you just need some complete strangers to say "That's not bad at all, you know"

I don't have the insty gams but have a click.

I am always amazed by how often female artists like to draw the eyes and faces of females.

She draws very well.
