I am having so much fun playing with my photographs and transforming them into beautiful works of art via my digital darkroom! And it’s really been helping with my depression—very therapeutic! When I create, whether digitally or by hand, it’s as if the depression has lifted and for just a brief moment in time, I feel normal again.
You see, dealing with seasonal depression doesn’t just last during the winter months; it lingers for months after the season has ended and just when you start feeling normal, BANG the depression returns full force—making it difficult to concentrate on the simplest of tasks like reading and writing and it’s really draining physically and emotionally. So while I have put my writing career on hold until I can get a better handle on things—or until the Sam-e, change in diet, and exercise kicks in—I’ve decided to use the free time to learn more about how Paint Shop Pro X2 and Corel Painter work and, hopefully, get my art room out of the dark and dreary basement so that I can, once again, practice my techniques.
Here are just four of my latest creations.
