I love the paintings of Van Gogh, especially the ones of trees and plants. This is one of my favourites:

I saw it in the Netherlands ages and ages ago, and I made a jumper based on it -- I knit. I'm not sure if that counts as art, but it helps me organise my mind because it's so very structured and repetitive. I make my own patterns sometimes, too. It doesn't replace expressing myself with words, but I am utter shite at drawing and kind of blind.

What kind of art would you try? Drawing, painting, ??? . . . I don't think you have to be good to express yourself with it (maybe to get a gallery showing, yeah -- but that's a different story!). Are there any places in your area you could take basic classes, so you can learn the techniques and such?
