I want to hide

My daughter says it reminds her of a turtle. My step-mom says it's like a close up in a Wonderland garden.

To me, this is camouflage. I’m starting to share this journal on Social Media. I think this painting is my way to express the fear of being vulnerable and wanting to flee. In fight or flight, I'm usually flight. Releasing my art for the world, this vulnerable art, is terrifying.

This art represents my emotions and my feelings. What's really going on behind my happy mask. It's taking all of my restraint not to run.
