Art Therapy

I sat down to complete this mixed media page after a turbulent week with my son. His best friend told him the friendship was over, done. Just like that. Naturally my son was devastated. To add to the pain, his ex best-friend has proceeded to tell the other kids in his class not to be his friend... I have a son who is kind and fiercely loyal and protective of his friends, especially his bestie. To see him in distress and being treated in this way breaks my heart.

Creating this mixed media page helped me to vent my own disappointment and sadness for my son. I am glad that emotional pain can lead to a creative burst. At least something positive has come out of this week of turmoil.
