Hi Crew, here is something I found when I clicked on the link provided by TB.
It is about "synesthesia" but I don't think that is what you are seeking????

When you have asked me about painting "my pain" or what do I see when I'm in pain, I haven't really replied. So here goes.
I guess my brain doesn't work that way. But it is really interesting to me to think that you can "see" feelings or "smell" colors, or paint that way. I'm a 'basic' sort of painter. I have to have it down as a drawing then paint it. I'm working at getting out of that mode, but that's me, just plain jane - but I feel very creative in so many ways.
Right now it is with fabric.
See you around PC!
