Return to Reality


Acrylic on canvas, 2011, 9" x 12".

This was painted shortly after going on antipsychotic medication. I was in a very confused state at the time, unsure of what was what any more. But through this uncertainty was hope, hope that I would find a way out of the horror movie that was my life for so long. The confusion went on for a number of months as I had been ill for a long time, but these days it doesn't bother me much any more (unless I find myself in the recovery stage of what are now much shorter episodes).

I am feeling mostly good currently, so I thought it would be best to publish a positive picture of my recovery.

  2. Thank you for your kind words Gary.

    Indeed there was a positive direction at the time of painting this. Through all the confusion I was hopeful that I could end up there. So maybe I don't spend every day there, but I do spend the times I can there. Every day spent there is a blessing to be counted.
