THIS IS REALLY HOW I FEEL PPF

Hi Everyone!
For those of you who have been hangin out with me a while, know that I share my body with lupus, and migraine is an integral part of my life. Last week I got really sick, went to the hospital hotel for a night and had a procedure done on Tuesday. Since last Thursday I have had head pain, like right now! So this weeks art for Paint Party Friday is how my head feels.... for real....
Please be sure to stop Eva and Kristin's blog to see all of the wonderful art people are creating.
As I look at my piece it cracks me up, it isn't really my style. Okay so I am a bit strange but you all knew that from the gate. LOL
12x12 box canvas, acrylic painting, air brushing, glass eyes, seed beads, bone,
wood, glitter, clay, sea weed, spring.

I am amazed that you can create something this fantastic when you are in that kind of pain. I think your painting is great, and I hope you get some relief from your splitting head soon.

Nicole,

I'm so sorry you've got a migraine. They're nasty, nasty things, that's for sure.

I love that you were able to express your feelings through this amazing and funky painting, though. It really conveys the way a migraine feels.

*Hugs.* Feel better soon!

Beautiful rendition of PAIN. Sorry you're hurting. I admire you for being able to concentrate enough to do a painting.

In a strange sort of way...I totally get this painting! Sometimes I wish my eyes would pop out of my head so the pain would ease,LOL!

It goes without saying, my friend, that you are one of my flowers, too.

Hope you get some good rest this weekend & feel better again soon.

sometimes it feels so good to have something to hold it for us for a while - and its great to have a visual when trying to share your experience with those nonsick people who just dont seem to get it! you know the ones "oh yea... I get headaches too" um... smack! haha.

may you continue to find humor and strength
