Dear Roxanna:

Regarding connecting the two, connecting you expressing your feelings in art and expressing your feeling in your relationship with your husband:

When you express your feelings on canvas, the canvas does not ask questions, does it. You choose the colors, the forms or lack of form, and the paints and canvas ask no questions, they do not object, do not reject, do not ask for explanations, clarifications: there is it, YOUR art, beautiful, complex as it is.

When you express your feelings to your husband, he may ask questions, object, reject, not exhilarating, like art, not rejuvenating and often draining, is it so?

I am going with my own feeling here about what is going on, my own “work of art,” my art is analysis and synthesis of concepts, and lots of assuming what is going on, this is my work of art, but I am not going to leave it here on the screen to admire. I am going to send it to you and ask you: do you agree with some of this? Any of it speaks to you?

Hope to “speak” to you soon, there is much more, if you are willing and my hope is that our communication on this thread will help you to gain clarity regarding your communication with your husband, over time, if you are willing.
