Better late than never, or so they say......These are pictures from Halloween eve, locally known as Mischief Night, or Missy Night. Luckily I managed to dodge any egg throwing, but ended up in the scary lift number 9!

It was a great workshop with Ange and Nicky giving us a space with some fab resources to look at, and use, and a bit of guidance. I ended up in front of the juicy pomegranate, and couldn't resist using the juice as paint, delicious or weird, depending on your perspective.

Although some of my drawings look nothing like the feast that was in front of us, I felt inspired, and put some of it away in my memory to use at a later date, like a squirrel with nuts. It was a relief to make a mess, and get my hands dirty.

So my therapy room is a bit of a superhero, it's a mild mannered room when I see clients, and turns into an art studio when I'm on my own. Although someone has commented it looks like a crime scene when I'm painting! In the early days with canvases (2 years!), let's see what happens.

It's been a busy old time on my week off. I thought I'd convert my therapy room into a makeshift art studio as I haven't scratched my creative itch for some time.

As it's nearly Halloween, I like that it's like a bit of a horror scene with plastic, and dripping red ink all over the place, nice and messy. So sad it'll all be cleared away by next week, like nothing ever happened.

Over the weekend I was lucky to take part in an improv piece, called 'A Wake' with a great bunch of people, directed by Mark
It was scary but loads of fun.

I'm noticing a bit of a common denominator in the things I do, whether therapy, art, or improv. There's a structure, but within it there's room to breathe, play, be, take risks, and see what happens, no matter how messy that is.

Now, just trying to take a leaf out of Bobby's book, and chill!

This is a wall of a building in Liverpool city centre, and I love the different drips making their way to the pool of paint at the bottom.

I think therapy can be like this sometimes, where the process isn't a straight line, sometimes it doesn't make sense and you're not sure where it's going.

Then one day all the connections and discoveries start coming together and some things start making sense and fitting together.

It's not always about aha moments and epiphanies, it's sometimes just the slow building of awareness, and knowing yourself and your history in a new way.

What are your thoughts?
